I voted PSL because I would have to kill myself if I voted for genocide. I already feel like I deserve to die for my complicity and passivity just by being a law abiding/ taxpaying USAmerican, because that too supports the genocide, to add to that by additionally voting for a genocide because it might be better for me? I wouldn’t survive that. I cast the only ballot I could without just casting a 9mm ballot in my fucking skull on election day. I should throw my body into the gears of the machine to clog it with my guts.
That’s where I’m at.
So when I hear smug pieces of shit telling me I’m going to get what I deserve? Yeah, maybe I will. But it wasn’t because I refused to vote for the lesser of two genocides. It’s because I’m a worthless coward that won’t do something that actually matters.
Voting matters. Or at least it mattered, not sure if it will matter going forward. It was the single easiest and most effective thing you could have done to stop the fascists, especially if you live in a swing state.
You didn’t fail because you were being a coward. You failed because you fell for Russian propaganda.

Do you feel anything at all?
“I won’t do what I think is right, but I also I won’t do what will reduce harm.”
Yeah, that’s about what I thought.
