Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

    I’m not throwing anything away, I’m voting for the party that most represents my interests! This is the fundamental basis of a democracy! I’m sorry that your candidate is fucking garbage, but there’s no way I’m gonna hold my nose and vote for an octogenarian apartheid lover again. Maybe the party should’ve listened when so many people withheld their vote or voted “uncommitted” that it actually made the news.

      The idealism is cute, but that’s not how it works and you know it.

      You won’t hold your nose again because you have the luxury of not needing to worry about either possible outcome.

        Lmao okay :) my wife is trans, every one of my friends is some sort of queer or minority that the government would want to kill, and none of them are voting for biden. It would be cool if libs would stop throwing them around like a political football to deflect blame. Anyways, good luck in November! I guess we’ll see if this “ignoring everyone’s concerns for the future” strategy will work out as good as it did in 2016.
