No, what is an insult is the American electoral system where at the end of the day, your individual vote means nothing. Your so called representatives do not work for you. They only represent you only paper. They are there to enrich themselves through corporate dollar and stocks, because capitalism and individualism.
Our votes do nothing to impact politicians or policy. The needs of capital will always be addressed while we get left over table scraps, that inevitably still benefit capital.
Joseph McCarthy wants his old tired Russians everywhere tropes back. Democrats voted against Trump and got his policies anyway. Hows that worked out for ya?
My inaction isnt getting Palestinians killed, my inaction hasnt caused the highest spike in homelessness ever seen, my inaction isnt causing a rise in suicides, my inaction isnt causing stagnant wages. If allowing the deaths of brown people is seen as the lesser evil then there is a serious problem with the mental health and empathy of Americans. If the tables were turned and Trump was currently in the WH, liberals would be calling out all the injustices they are currently turning a blind eye to. But the lesser evil they accept year after year, decade after decade, has grown so enormous they can no longer see evil for what it is. They have become the evil they claimed they were voting against
The issue with that sentiment is that a significant amount of the population simply can’t afford to be picky. They buy the cheapest available version of whatever they need because that’s what they can afford. All of the power of consumer choice is slowly being stripped away as more and more people are pushed into poverty, and that’s by design.

Your vote is yours to throw away if you want to.
But it’s kind of an insult to everyone who fought to let you do that.

The trick is to pick the lesser of the two evils.
50 years of that has produced an evil so large we don’t even recognize evil any longer.
And not voting will solve that how exactly?
Doesnt hurt, doesnt help. Voting is more an illusion of participation, complete with an “I Voted” participation trophy.
Inaction is worse than picking the lesser of two evils.

Yes it has.
I have not attributed to the harm being created by the donor class. People that support and defend the donor class have.
What liberals do you see that aren’t making a fuss right now? Are you under a rock?
Making a fuss then electing the same rightwing pieces of shit that got us into this situation and dont represent us isnt progress, its surrender
