I'm getting so much of this right now from friends who know I'm a communist, who agree that Biden and Obama were just as bad as Trump on things like immigration, and admit that organizing makes more of a difference than voting. But they still act like my rejection of the lesser evil is a complete endorsement of the Republican platform. "People's lives are at stake!" Yeah, I fucking know. That's why we need to fight against this bullshit. Fuck.
I wish I had something to share that I think would work. But I've spent years arguing with liberals at r/politics and I've gotten nowhere. Most of them seem to finally grok that there are no "noble" republicans. But I fear most of them have the same moronic four letter word solution to everything: vote.
If every election is the Most Important of our Lifetimes, no one ever has to take the long view. And so I get to have the same exhausting conversation every two years.
Like, I'm not even trying to convince some of these people because I know it's hopeless. But they act like my position is completely beyond understanding and I start to wonder if I've been speaking gibberish all these years.
