beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

@nazokiyoubinbou @janvenetor @noondlyt This is a great summary:

"The broken logic of refusing to vote against the person who was *publicly* pro-genocide because the other candidate wasn't anti enough"

@wifsten @Alice @nazokiyoubinbou @noondlyt in principle this works as a deterrent to the other party. In practice there's a two party system, the other party wins, and the parties are NOT equal.

I really hope you get to vote again someday.

It’s this childish stance that your vote should express your exact political beliefs. That somehow by not voting you are not culpable for the repercussions.

But you are. You absolutely are.

And conversely, by voting you are not culpable for the repercussions, because your vote cannot express your exact political beliefs. Nobody voted to ruin themselves, or remove their health care, or wreck their climate, or murder their grandmother. They were voting for someone else entirely, a heroic figure crafted by the expert manipulation all around them. And he didn't get elected, because he doesn't exist.

The fact is we all have to deal with terrible candidates, the destruction of democracy, and wealthy bastards enslaving us all, no matter who we voted for, whether or not we voted. We're under attack, and it's either defend against the media moguls, or die. It's either come together, and stop getting mad at people for voting wrong in a broken election, or divided, we fall.
