    One of the two is going to win. Yes, abstaining is elevating your ego over a difficult decision, who cares what the consequences are so long as you can say you didn’t do it. I assume you are also one of those spoiled children who has never had to make a difficult decision then? Keeping your nose clean is more important than mitigating damage?

      You are one of those liberals who value the status quo and respectability over all else. You don’t give a fuck about anybody suffering under this system. You just want a veneer of decorum over the atrocities so you can go back to ignoring them. You call me and my people spoiled children while we get beaten and jailed by your cops, for protesting a genocide cheered on by your politicians. I wonder if you’ve thought about what you’ll do if Trump wins. Will you go to Canada, washing your hands of the ignorant American electorate? Hey, you voted for the good guys. Everyone else gets what they deserve? Are you buying guns and ammo to defend your vulnerable neighbors? Will you just keep collecting your paychecks? I wonder.

        Way off.

        I’m a leftist who knows what the word “praxis” means. All your performative posturing doesn’t do anything.

        The status quo doesn’t change because you squander your vote, it changes one seat at a time. If we really outnumber them, we could replace them. From the bottom up. The status quo is too powerful to overthrow, it has to be consumed.

          You’re making up fantasies about me, so it’s only fair I make them up about you. You do your praxis and I’ll do mine.
