How many dead Palestinian kids will it take for you to change your vote?

So a vote for X is effectively a vote for R.

No it isn't! No it fucking isn't! There is no scenario where not voting for Trump is voting for Trump. This is the stupidest fucking thing the liberals have latched on to and keep repeating and it's truly an embarrassment that so many people repeat it. The only way to vote for Trump is to vote for Trump. Not voting isn't a vote of any kind. Voting for third parties is voting for third parties. You can pretend to do a logic puzzle where not voting for Trump means you're voting for Trump, but you're still a fucking clown for doing it and nobody with any sense is going to take your imaginary logic puzzle with anything but pity for you.

The only way this liberal logic works is if you assume leftists owe a vote to Democrats by default, so not voting for the Democrats means they've lost your vote that they rightfully owned in the first place. It's so goofy. No one is losing anything if I never intended to vote for genocide. If liberals can't come up with a good reason for me to vote for their particular Hitler, that's on them, not me.
