    Who you vote for says a lot about what your priorities are and what your moral compass is willing to tolerate for what you see as the “greater good.” When you vote for someone, you may not agree with everything they stand for but you absolutely do believe that overall what they stand for is more closely aligned with your political goals than the alternatives.

      It doesn’t really reflect that much on you. Like, if my choices were Putin or Pol Pot, I don’t think voting for Putin would say much about my moral compass. Obviously not voting would feel nicer, but feeling nice doesn’t help much when the national average life experience drops to the mid teens.

        Equating trump and biden is dishonest. Both in terms of what the average american experiences and at a distant policy level.

        Saying “I dont care about things that dont immediately impact me” also says a lot about someones’ moral compass and where their priorities are. There is no belief that doesnt say SOMETHING about a person.

          Yeah, if this guy had voted for pol pot over putin (or the other way around, idk my instinct says pol pot was way worse.) It would absolutely say something about them as a person.
