You know, as a principled non-voter, I can live with the true believers. The people who really believe that electing Biden or Trump or Fungus the Bogeyman will make the Earth cool, and the seas retreat, and the economy flourish, and racists like, maybe, chill for a couple of weeks.

(I mean, they’re deeply, deeply delusional and I might not want to leave them alone with sharp things, or electricity, but at least they have a good reason why I should want their guy to be tribal chief.)

But I really, really hate the pragmatists who’ll blame you for not voting in the same post as they’ll say things like “it’s a choice between shit and slightly less shit” - or other tired lesser evil memes.

My good sir, indulge in coprophagia if you must, but have the goodness to do it alone and be ashamed of confessing it around decent folks, like everyone else with a repulsive and antisocial addiction.

I’ll just be over here _not eating shit_.

@cerebrate You say that as if the shit isn’t forcefully shoveled into everyone’s faces regardless of which they chose

Everyone gets showered in shit.

But eating it is a choice.

@cerebrate Voting isn’t eating shit.
Living in a country with that kind of government is.
Voting is just picking the menu.

@zarpaulus

Having people participate in their own degradation has a long and dishonorable history among people generally considered "the worst".
