Also, what good would teaching the Democrats a lesson do when Trump winning likely means an end to democracy.

Others may not have hope that things could be truly made better, But to those people I’d say, don’t you think it’s worth it to expend just the little bit of effort it takes to vote? Is there nobody in your life that you’d spend an hour’s worth of effort to potentially save their lives or at least put people in office that allow them to legally use the restroom?

The slide into fascism isn’t stopping under a genocide supporter. At best it slows down a bit.

staying home on election day won’t make anyone do shit bud.
