Kamala Harris

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Thank you.

Sick of cowards who say “I wouldn’t vote for anyone.”

Unless there is compulsory voting like in Australia then we have to accept that as a valid and democratic choice. The danger I suppose with voter apathy is that only the extremists are motivated to turn out to vote.

You of course are free to do nothing.

But if you can’t pick a side in a choice like this, you’re a coward. Or a know-naught.

And I get it.

The cognitive dissonance among lifelong GOPers untrammeled by self-awareness must be a difficult wrestling match.

White democrats have always been the most racist in society.

Yes, far more racist than the KKK.

But if the two candidates are extremist it sort of makes sense that only extremists would vote but that's not what is happening. Millions of normal people will be voting for these candidates.

I wouldn't vote for either of them. That's not apathy just disgust at what's on offer.

If you compare the candidates and conclude they're equally extremist then you're either deluded or dishonest.

One of them literally attempted to overturn the previous election result!

The "they're both as bad as each other" folk can try to fool themselves but it's very transparent.

At least there's something to be said with openly being a ****.

You’re right, it’s not apathy.

It’s cowardice.

Bollocks. If you think it's ok voting for someone heavily involved in the mass murder and displacement of Palestinians, that's your prerogative.

I think similar things are going on throughout the western world with things generally moving to the right - the RW parties very much so, and the left moving to the centre. I think the left not being left but more liberal/centrist creates the feeling that 'they're all the same' and voter apathy. Also, it's just easier to grab headlines and tap into fear with RW ideas.

Bollocks. If you think enabling someone who has openly pledged to be far worse is OK, then you're off your chump.
