So it's bad when women do it?

Is sucking dick bad? Or are you saying gay people are pedophiles?

What do you do if "against" is not on the ballot? In my country for instance there is no party that opposes the palestinian genocide except a few very fringe ones. So should I swallow my conscience and just vote?

Or should I demonstrate, vote for one of the fringe parties, make the people that are supposed to represent me know what my values are? Because I'd die of shame if people could actually claim that our zionist government represented me.

Turning in a blank ballot is also a valid form of protest, but protesters have to make sure that their demands are known. Otherwise a protest is pointless.

The people who won’t stay home on election day are conservative voters, and even though electoral reform shouldn’t be a partisan issue I guarantee the Conservatives would never move to implement it.

There are a lot of conservatives that stay home because they are disappointed or don't see a point to it. Doomerism is kind of a conservative thing.

Why?? Seems like using the only power you have over the politicians (to vote or not vote for them) is about the best thing you can do to get what you want within the confines of the system.

It would need a lot of organizing and campaigning. The main action wouldn't be withholding the vote but the organizing behind a cohesive message. You (as a collective) would have to agree on what exactly are your demands and be loud about it.

I agree that lesser evilism will only ever lead to more and more evil candidates as long as the other candidate is more evil, but reversing that course is going to be tough.

I just ask whoever gave me the bread the best manner of eating it. Every loaf is different you know.

Well I'm sure the supreme court judges will stop it. They are completely unbiased after all. And when they do of course the executive will make sure that whatever the judges rule will be carried out. I sure love the separation of powers 🤗 /s
