I’ve got multiple white queer friends who are staunchly “vote blue no matter who” and dissolve into a trembling breakdown whenever they’re asked about it, talking about how if republicans win the world is going to end etc. Like, full on angry-crying wojak, talking about third-party voting being a waste, Project 2025, etc. Coincidentally, these friends hardly ever engage with activism.
How do you choose to engage with these kinds of people? What’s the general opinion on the vote in leftist circles, considering so many are refusing to vote for Biden (just checking the water temp since I’ve been largely offline save for activism and work lately)?
I’ve been away from Hexbear for a minute, apologies if this has been discussed!
Edit: Really appreciating all the replies! Really glad I can reliably come here for good discussions. Thanks everyone 
Slash gen., in case it’s needed.
If you’re in a blue state get them to concede that smaller downballot elections are good places for third option parties to succeed and create change, as well as important things like funding for schools. Then just tell them that your state is already gonna vote for Biden so it doesn’t matter if you don’t. Like I’m still voting for the local school funding. I’ll probably be forced to vote Democrat on most of the downballot votes because I don’t want to see more chuds on the city council. But lol lmao I’m not voting for Brandon. Expose the proceduralist demon factory of national politics to them.
