    As a foreigner I never understood the novote sentiment in the US. You aren’t voting for either candidate because you dislike them, so who would you actually vote for? AOC? RFK Jr? Bernie? Does your ideal candidate even exist in reality yet? All a no vote does is take away your own rights in your country, while the rest of the world moves on without you.

    For what it’s worth, both parties can be trash but one party actually can be shamed to doing the right thing once in a while.

      Non voters are either children or morons.

      Rational adults realise that this is the system and you have to operate inside of it despite the compromises.

      Now, you want to start changing the system, start a grassroots campaign, get into politics to change the system, more power to you!

      But sitting on your ass crying about both sides while doing nothing, you are simply an immature moron.

    • Leftists are abandoning Joe Biden and this will ensure Donald Trump’s victory

    • Actually, Joe Biden is very popular and he’s going to win in a landslide. Anyone who says otherwise is a Russian shill.

    Rolling these two ideas in my brain like a pair of baoding balls

    This is a cool post.

    Still won’t make me vote for genocide. Please give me a candidate to vote for.

    I know I have no way of convincing anyone of this, but I am not a Russian bot (living in the UK and not being able to vote in the US election).

    But these are exactly the points of view I have been expressing over here about the Tory and Labour parties. Maybe not so much the “not voting at all” one but the other three? Yeah – that sounds a lot like me right now.

    (I think you should vote for someone you believe in, rather than voting for someone who is not someone else, if that makes sense)

    But definitely not a Russian bot :)
