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.
I just don’t engage anymore. It usually ended in me saying “I don’t know how to make you care about other people” and that’s a conversation-terminator usually.
There’s no depths the lib will not sink to vote blue. They’re reduced to pointing at the genocide and the brutal cop crackdown and saying “wow this would be so much worse under Trump”. It’s nothing new though. Every election from Bill Clinton on has been vote for me and fuck you. Unsurprisingly, things have only steadily gotten worse.
