No one called anyone a Trump shill for supporting progressives in down-ballot elections. If you're just talking about the start of the presidential election cycle, that's too late.

Brother, I'm voting against the party with the absolutely insane and oppressive declared policies. What are you talking about?

Well in that case it's not really relevant.

That and the fact that it's legally impossible for one to win the presidency, yeah.

No you can't. Because we live under a system where one of them is going to be in power after the election, and every possible voter shares equal responsibility in the outcome.

There are plenty. But I do think it's performative as hell to withhold your vote within a couple months of a major election. There is no momentum for anything that could possibly disrupt the status quo in Palestine before the election, and letting Trump win isn't going to make that any easier afterward. Unless you're an actual accelerationist, in which case I'm glad you can so confidently accept the likely millions of excess deaths that will cause.

Answer to both: no. So maybe we should use other factors to decide!

Right, I'm "decrying" successful revolutions because I don't believe that your armchair activism is going to start any actual movement capable of disturbing the status quo.

It's only worthless if it's third party, sadly.

I love getting downvotes for just understanding the law.
