When given a choice between a millitary industrial neoliberal with a rainbow voting base and a fascist who is one elon musk golf session away from banning HRT, the best option is certainly not to refuse to play out of protest

You think it's impossible to make a difference by voting and also by doing other things. I think voting to keep things from getting worse is the bare fucking minimum. If you can't even take a few minutes out of one day to mark a sheet of paper to keep things from getting worse I don't believe for a second are you doing anything to make things better.

You are picking a fight with someone who does more than the bare minimum? Can you honestly say that you put this kind of energy to people who won't do anything but the bare minimum? People who vote but do nothing else to help others? No I'm probably not better than someone who votes and does other stuff to help people. But I am certainly better than the people who all they do is vote. So how about you put your "lesser of the two evils" perspective to work and go agitate people who aren't out there in their communities and helping people in need.
