    If you’ve got nobody to vote for, I can’t blame you for not voting

    Not letting them off the hook that easily.

    They could still vote against an obviously horrible candidate.

      Not letting them off the hook that easily.

      It’s not your hook. They’re dealing with their fascists. You’re dealing with yours.

      When Canada stops putting members of the Ford family in elected offices and clapping for real literal 1930s Nazis, they can tell the Americans about how to do democracy correctly.

      They could still vote against an obviously horrible candidate.

      That’s not how elections work. The seat doesn’t sit vacant because enough people vote “I don’t like you” to the winning candidate.
