Abstaining does not wash your hands if your choice made it more likely to result in more genocide.

And that’s just talking about a single issue, like you said trump will fuck up a lot more things for many more Americans.

Reading comprehension: I’m not abstaining. Thanks for trying. Come again.

Third party then? I voted third party in 2016. Figured as little as I liked Hilary, she had it in the bag, so might as well do a little protesting, eh? Fuck, was I an idiot.

Look at the polls man. The time to protest was in the primaries. November fucking counts. Don’t claim you will be sitting there in good conscience as Trump throws out all the court cases against him, maybe stacks the Supreme Court for another decade or two of Conservative control, and pours more fuel on the stupid fucking culture wars that the GOP keeps burning to keep us distracted while the 1% are squeezing us for more and more.

You will have had the chance to make a difference, however small, and you will have fucking wasted it. For your “conscience”.

Peer pressure doesn’t work for me.

Ah, that was an assumption made because most folks abstain :)

As you suggested, I’ll try again.

If your vote results in more genocide being likely, you have not washed your hands of it.

And that’s just talking about a single issue. Like you said, a trump presidency will fuck things up for many more Americans, so if your vote results in that being more likely, that’s a choice you made.

Voting pro genocide is better than voting no genocide. Gotcha!
