    He isn’t, but if you want something different from the same establishment bullshit that we’ve had for decades, he’s the only option.

    If you’re on the right, you have the populist/fascist asshole you’ve always wanted.

    If you’re on the left, you either vote for neoliberalism to protect yourself from fascism, or you don’t vote at all.

    This time around, the left chose the latter. We’re fucking tired, and it’s the Dems that wore us out by never listening to a single fucking thing we asked for.

      “I got tired of the system so I decided to let it burn down and take the lives of millions with it”

      See Ukraine

      See Gaza

      See promises of mass deportation

      But yes, you’re justified in your non participation because you didn’t actively vote for him, you just enabled his people to hand the control to a madman because you got tired of trying.

        OP isn’t talking about himself. He’s talking about why so many libs sat it out.
