Fucking awful.
I can't vote for these monsters. It's not lack of thought - it's too much thought. What Salma Jaber's father must of felt watching his six year old be shot by a sniper in the neck, or what Hind Rajab felt trapped under that car for days.
You missed the point. It’s a sarcastic comment about how politicians think. It’s also a condemnation of people who have the opportunity to help themselves and others, but choose not to
just saw someone say "many of the loudest democrats are really just quiet republicans" and that so succinctly encapsulates precisely what ive been trying to say for the past two months 😩😩😩

Make no mistake: when you white Democrats ask us Muslims and Arabs to vote for Biden, you are committing more white violence.
You want us to sacrifice ourselves, so you can sit comfortably atop a mountain of black, brown, yellow, and red bodies.
Nope. I made a sarcastic comment about how politicians think and why not voting can make things even worse.
Someone once said that voting isn’t like a marriage, it’s like public transit: you ride the bus that takes you closest to where you want to go; then you get off and take another bus
Sometimes you have to choose between backing up a little or a lot. If enough people don’t choose to back up a little, then everyone is going to be shoved a long way in the wrong direction
Are you talking about when getting on the bus? Like you have to move back to let riders off? I don't really understand how your comment relates to mass transit.
But what if "not voting" is the bus that gets you closest to your destination so you can get off and take the last bus?
think your metaphors out before you use them
it'll save you looking like a horse's ass
If you don’t vote, you’ll get thrown onto someone else’s bus and taken away. So few people vote in places like the US that selfish minorities often seize control. Not voting brings the worst parties one step closer to power
you just got done saying elections are like taking the public bus; each option is like a bus to take. You use the busses to get close to your destination then take a different bus
the options are: many candidates and abstention; abstention sometimes is the best option
whether you vote or not, the worst parties always get one step closer to more power, and the worst evils win the elections
Because that's how electoralism works
But if politicians ignore non-voters, how does choosing not to vote cause change? What makes you think those who gain power won’t stick you on a bus of their choosing?

“There’s no grays, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is."
“It’s a lot more complicated than that . . .”
“No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”
“Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes . . .”
“But they starts with thinking about people as things . . . ”
Damn, dehumanizing people like that sure is some effective voter outreach. Tell me, how has that strategy worked out in literally every other election?
