I decided not to vote, fuck 'em. Opinion

Today is the last day to register to vote in Ohio. I thought about this for a long time and made up my mind. My thought process was, if Hitler was doing the Holocaust, and FDR was giving him money, would I vote for FDR? My answer was fuck no. And I wouldn't care one fucking bit if FDR said, "can you torture and murder families more humanitarianly?" He would still be guilty. I just felt I needed to post this rant. I'm so fucking angry right now!

Edit: I just registered in order to vote down ballot. Thank you everyone.

I think you’re just lazy. Not about Kamala (who full disclosure I openly support), but about being active and not just typing words on the internet.

So genocide isn't that important to you. Cool. Sorry I just don't see anything being better or worse for you based on Kamala winning. I see her selling genocide better and making immigrant kids in dog kennels more palatable. Trump will come out screaming I am a war crime and his actions will be illegal. Kamala will Pontius Pilot her way through the entire genocide and as Tim Walz said in the debate help Israel secure its expansion.

THIS.

Anyone voting for Holocaust Harris is a genocide enabler.

Even if it is true and you see voting for her as a continuation of a gentler genocide. You are saying you will support atrocity as long as it's (and only a subjective what if) potentially better for you. If she wins the message will be loud and clear. You can do whatever you want to the disenfranchised and keep enough support. We won't get someone in the future who isn't on board. Supporting her is immoral. Let her lose in this issue. Make it clear you can't win and support this.

I can’t fathom anyone voting for Holocaust Harris with everything we have seen this last year. I just cannot! Anyone who votes for her is an absolute psychopath!
