the essential lie those who do not #vote tell themselves is that by not participating they are not part of the shit show
assuming they aren't AI bots working a learned helplessness toxic idealism political angle to immobilize the far left, they live and breathe in reality, they do not inhabit a magic ivory tower, and they are a part of this, like it or not, there is no escape
and thus they *must* choose, if they are moral
or they are immobilized in a way that helps malice
