See, doing it as a bloc with public visibility I can see. That actually has some chance of swaying at least the rhetoric. But I still think if they actually go through with not voting, they're voting against their own interests. The right is rabidly xenophobic and loves Israel, the only thing Trump will do to end the genocide is send even more military support.

Oh man this thread is a real breath of fresh air, thank you three for having heads on your shoulders.
Not voting is a choice. You can't not participate in politics.
I think you're generally right that foreign policy won't be very affected (not sure what the image has to do with it), but domestic policy certainly will be. It's very disheartening to see all of these self-proclaimed leftists basically discarding LGBTQ people, whose rights are extremely up for debate in this election, to make a performative stance against a policy that both sides support equally.
Voting doesn't affect your ability to do other activism.
Should be the standard anyway. Reading email and texts from work, or responding to calls, is work. Unless your contact specifies on-call hours, you should ignore your boss outside of working hours. If they really want you to respond they can pay you overtime.
Switched back to Linux this week and I couldn't be happier.
Which games/mods are you talking about? It's very rare for mods to not work if the game works, you might just need to find an alternate application somewhere in the chain
If anyone hasn't already lost their Israel-colored glasses, they're not coming off.
