    Yup. These people honestly think… or, “honestly” think- that not voting is going to actually do something.

    Now we have two scenarios to address here:

    One:

    They actually think in good-faith, that they are going to make a change. To emphasize- they actually think that doing nothing will cause something to happen. Which means… they are entirely unaware that someone will be elected with or without their help.

    And-

    Two:

    They know damn well that a non-vote will help Trump and that is why they are here. There is clearly more evidence to support this being the case as you’ll never see them on any post critical of Trump, suggesting that people not vote for him. Nor do you see them arguing that Trump wouldn’t be a worse choice. Nope. They’re dead silent on the issue.

    They don’t need to actively support Trump, or suggest people vote for him here as they know there are very few supporters of his on lemmy.

    However, they DO know that conservatives show up to the booths to vote. In DROVES. All they need is to convince a small amount of people to stay home, and their boy wins the White House.

    One of these two are correct. The problem is that everyone loses either way- and they don’t care.
