Edit: new and improved image, now with 100% less support! Used my expert photo editing skills to change "supporting" to say "voting for"

You want to change the system, I am literally 100% behind you. Until then, any registered voter that stays home is a vote for Trump. That is the greater evil...

If not voting for Biden is a vote for Trump, by the same logic not voting for Trump is a vote for Biden

If you can convince a Trump supporter to stay home, sure. More likely, they'll just vote when your back is turned and try to drop in you're ballot for Trump.

An individual vote only has meaningful significance in a few specific locations. If you aren't doing anything to materially impact votes in those locations, emphasizing your individual vote as significant online is more about self-affirming and displaying your allegiance among others who agree with you.

Don't worry, third party voters are still wearing crowns.

That's not how voting works but hyperbole does.

Any government in power doesn't care about your concerns if you're not participating in the decision-making.

And when I say not caring about your concerns, I mean not fixing old lead pipes that are poisoning an entire town because it couldn't give enough of a damn

It literally is, at its core.

Do you need a definition of literally? Because you sure don't show understanding.

Blaming no confidence voters for staying home because the DNC decided to hold their votes hostage is top tier victim blaming.

Again, might as well vote for trump bud

You're the one voting for israel not me. Crazy that you're projecting your endorsement for genocide on others

only a vote for trump is a vote for trump
