    Voting for someone in an election in the US is not an endorsement of that person. You have effectively two choices in many of the elections due to how the system is designed. You vote for the best choice of those two.

    Not voting, or voting for a non viable candidate, is a signal that you Do Not Care who is in power.

    Voting is a tool, and a civic duty. It’s one of the few ways US society allows direct input from citizens.

    If you actually are against facism, don’t use misguided idealism to encourage people to throw away the little political power they have.

      Okay here’s my input: I don’t vote for people who support genocides or block strikes.

      If you want my vote work for it.
