When will be your "this is the last fucking time I'm voting for the 'lesser of two evils', then I don't care after that, let this country burn to the ground"? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I'm going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I'm done. It's just pointless. Let's hear it.

"buh buh buh you gotta pick one genocidal bastard settler or the other you can't just abstain" trick watch me. If the maintenance of any state, the one in which I live, or an ally of it mandates that I support a genocidal settler bastard, then I believe that state deserves to die. I don't believe in "maintaining the losing streak"-- in fact, I'm convinced it's a matter of one hand washing the other. The GOP deadlocks so the DNC can shrug, go "eto, bleh; guess we can't change anything" and the can gets kicked down the road for another four years. Fuck outta here.

"buh buh buh the government deserves to die and everyone living in the country must suffer because my feelings are hurt"

Yeah, I know you have a lot more to say than that, but the caustic and reductionist debating angle cuts in both directions. A very merry fuck you as well, sir.

If you want my support, maybe don't support genocidal settler-colonials. You don't get to reframe the grievance when you and yours have always been the ones in wrong. It's especially funny to me that you argue your point in support of somehow cajoling me to return to propping up the settler-colonial empire, when from my perspective, the death of the settler-colonial empire is likely the only way the rest of the people of this earth get to survive the impending climate disaster we continue to court.

tl;dr I am most emphatically not on your side, and never will be, regardless of whether or not I get to escape this hellscape before what has been sewn gets reaped.
