But Biden directly shoots Gazan children himself so you should throw your vote away on a green party candidate instead. Trust me.

Yeah, Trump will be worse and we should just ignore everything Democrats have accomplished or try to accomplish by lumping them in with the worst of their party while blaming them for everything a Republican has done like the sane non brainwashed person I am. I'm helping! I swear! People do more when they're hopeless!

Honestly the thing people need to do is just call it out for the ludicrousness it is every time. People think it's a popular opinion and it may be in some circles. But don't let it just slide. Make fun of it. Call it out for the propaganda it is. You don't have to be a paid Russian troll to push prop. People here can fall for it just as easily as the people wacthing Fox News.

Sure, but voting's literally the bare minimum you can do

Not really. It's about the only thing that matters. Triply so if you're in a purple state. And triply so for local elections.

People can say organize, call your rep, blah blah blah all the they want. But only the voting part really matters. Maybe talking to close friends who you might sway a vote but chances are they already are and voting similar to you.

The next best thing you can do is run yourself.

So I should vote against the person I dislike the most right?
