In this situation principles are stupid because you go against your own principles by letting the guy who will make things even worse win. Trump won’t stop supporting Israel (he’s the guy who recognized that Jerusalem as its capital) but he will stop supporting Ukraine, encouraging another genocide.
It fucking does when people like you are convincing people from swing States not to vote! If you just didn’t vote and shut up about it then it wouldn’t matter, but you’re just incapable of doing that are you? You need to validate your choice by sharing your opinion without mentioning that in your case it truly won’t change a thing…
Will it not change a thing though? You’ve got people saying “I’ll vote third party to show the Democrats!”, but somehow that logic doesn’t apply to Republicans, lowering the % between them and the Democrats to show them that Trump isn’t an appropriate candidate and their policies are shit? Nah…
Also, way more States would be purple if people got off their ass and voted instead of assuming it won’t change a thing.
Principles are for idiots
I don’t believe that. They’re important and we all come to our principles for our own reasons.

Your consequentialist shit means nothing in a red state. My vote for president doesn’t matter.
