    You aren’t voting for anyone. No one is. This is a first past the post voting system. You don’t vote FOR people, you vote AGAINST people. And by not voting, you’re saying you won’t vote against either party.

      Yep. I voted against trump last time, I got a president who supports genocide.

      If genocide and genocide are the only two options then what does it matter who I vote for?

        If the only thing you care about is genocide, then it doesn’t matter.

        It also means you don’t care about improving the lives of your neighbors or mitigating other kinds of damage.

        If that’s how you really feel, then you do you. But being a single issue voter leads to very weird outcomes.

          Devil I know vs the one I don’t.

          Run someone who doesn’t support killing innocent by people.

          Why is that so hard?
