what a great comment section
Inspired by the OP. Democrats put forth the shittiest candidates that they can but they're immune to criticism because republicans are shittier. Gee, that's certainly a winning setup.
It's almost like it's a setup designed to disenfranchise voters or something
Nah, allowing Trump, a fascist who will enable even more genocides, to have a second term through inaction doesn't make sense and should be discouraged. It's like the people who are saying they won't vote for Biden are trying to suppress voter turn out. It seems to be accelerationists who think they will somehow benefit from the chaos and death caused by a fascist takeover. edit: typo
Oh I'm right there with you. I mean, I do think the system has been engineered to maximize voter disenfranchisement still, but regardless I also think it's one's moral imperative to participate and vote anyways. It's the bare minimum, and harm reduction is better than nothing.
One thing I think a lot of people in this thread don't realize is that, the more people are mobilized to vote, especially for a 'lesser evil' candidate that they may not be excited for, the more velocity we have to propel a more desired candidate into office.

This summarizes it nicely. High voter turnout in 2024 can only help us in 2028 with a better, more progressive candidate.
Are there nominations for best of Lemmy?
Pinworms
If you, your child, or someone in your household has symptoms of pinworm infection, call the doctor and ask about the tape test. Simply take a clear piece of tape and press the sticky side to the skin around the anus. Do this as soon as you or your child wakes up -- before you use the bathroom, shower, or get dressed. The pinworm eggs will stick to the tape.
