Can I just say I think this was eloquently put, and I philosophically and intellectually largely agree. In Australia where I live voting is compulsory; in that context there is less conflict in that “d, all of the above” praxis can be actualised simultaneously.

However, I am ambivalent about it in the context of the USA, however, where militating every possible vote against someone as egregiously awful and negatively impactful as Donald Trump seems from the outside to be a no brainer.

I say this admittedly selfishly, as the decisions he/his handlers make particularly in the realm of rolling back of environmental rights seem to impact the entire world for generations to come.

However, maybe this is just our Great Filter ¯\(ツ)/¯

Life will continue, perhaps it’s for the best it does so without H “sapiens”

But I weep for my (and all of our) children.

Hear hear. All of the above.

thanks gang, I appreciate the sentiments and advice; and shall do just that.

Also, talk about a good problem to have, being on an amazing holiday in Europe 🙃

can you read I’m not American and have no dog in this fight apart from not wanting the USA to fuck the world worse than currently, but they literally mentioned genocide/Israel being their biggest crime

I was just there and learned the same thing! 2023 is wild, but better than the alternative I guess
