       What if voting wasn’t something you did to express your personal preference? What if it was something you did to protect the people you love?

       I keep hearing people I know who I thought genuinely cared for the people on the ragged edges of US society saying that they’re not going to vote for Harris. I wish they’d see voting as a thing we do *for each other* instead of something that speaks to your own self-centered opinion. It’s just moral narcissism - the idea that how it makes you feel about yourself is the most important thing. It’s wildly, WILDLY selfish.  And these are the same people who lecture others about privilege. Wild.

       People say I shouldn’t shame others for not voting, but fuck that. We have this one lever we get to pull. This one task. If you can’t make that bare minimum requirement to participate in a democracy, I have no goddamn respect for you. You’re not more morally pure for opting out, you’re just a petulant child. Voting isn’t everything, but it’s the first thing. If you have this right that so many fought and bled for and you don’t use it, shame on you.

       And if you’re so radical that you’re willing to take up arms to fight fascism, but you’re not willing to cast a vote for someone who isn’t perfect, you’re no radical, you’re just a fucking poser.

       @fraying louder for the toxic idealists in the back:if you don't #vote, you don't have morality, you have self congratulatory ego masturbationbelief without action is not morality. withholding action when the stakes are clear on things you *say* you care about is not highmindedness, it's impotencyone order out: not being aware of the stakes makes you absurdly cluelessand finally "both sides the same" is a moronic lie. i will consider you a russian troll for that in intellectual charity
