Again, these options are only the same to you because you are in a very privileged position.
To people without your privelege, the difference is literally life and death.
Continues to say both sides are the same
most people don't vote, so clearly to them they don't care. do you think these people don't care about situations of life/death or perhaps they have a reason they don't vote?
what everyone should be asking is why these people don't vote...for most of them, it's not an access problem it's a "the game is rigged and all these choices are obviously greedy ratfucks"-problem.
do these people not voting harm themselves more than "swallowing their pride and voting for hillary/harris/whatever other neolib"?....maybe, but that's their choice. you can either complain about the voter being wrong and change nothing or go to them find someone to address why they don't vote.
most people, when they know a game is rigged, choose to not play. only those already coming from a position of privilege think they can "change things from the inside", all your really doing at that point is sentencing yourself to 20 years of boredom.
Well that was a whole mess of wild and wacky assertions.
