        Well you live in a facist leaning and fascist sympathising country. Now what? Apathy doesn’t seem like the best course of action.

            If a vote either way supports genocide and no vote does nothing to stop genocide, what’s the tangible difference?

              If nothing you do matters, then the only thing that matters is what you do.

              What I choose to do is to not support genocidal actions in as many ways as possible.

              I can’t stop them from doing it, but I can choose not to support it myself.

              Don’t worry though, they are increasing the bombings in south Gaza now as well so soon it will just be a bunch of dead people and after that it doesn’t really matter, because people will all forget in time.

              But that’s the plan and it is working so 🤷‍♂️

                I do agree with this. However, voter apathy is literally doing nothing. If you are paying taxes, you are still contributing to and arguably passively supporting it.

                Actions I would think might matter are things like protest, campaigning for a third party against the thing you are against, running yourself, or retreating from this government’s rule.

                It could be argued that just by living in the country and not actively opposing the issue, then you are supporting it. Saying “I don’t support this thing so I didn’t vote for anyone”, then pay taxes to the government that does the thing and enjoy the rich society of the country that does the thing, you’re more actively participating in the thing than opposing it.

                  I know 100% where Biden stands by his actions.

                  trump says a lot of shit that he just can’t back up.

                  His nickname should be hummingbird, but he thinks it is alligator.

                  So on one hand I have a guaranteed wolf in sheep’s clothing on the other I have a no-toothed and idiotic wanna be wolf in a bear’s clothing.

                  Policies we can roll back, deaths we can’t.
