This is like the fireman saying "But it's whatever, these assholes with their cigarettes and fireworks combined with shoddy building materials and false alarms mean I'm stuck responding to the fire again. I'm not one to not respond at all, because that's just pointless to me. But…”

I could bring up a half a trillion dollars on climate change, reduced income inequality, gains in wages for working people even outpacing pretty historic inflation in 2022, etc etc fa la la, reasons why the Biden/Harris ticket was actually substantially better than most of the horseshit that is the modern Democrats, but "oh great I guess we gotta vote against fascism, it feels like this shit keeps happening" as a demoralizing thing as opposed to "holy shit the system is fucked how do we make some actual progress because we have to fucking live here" honestly just seems so childish and I feel like people are aware of the difference between the options and the gravity involved here

If getting up and voting is all that offensive to you, I can't imagine how you would react to the level of effort and risk it will take to actually make the system good, and fix the 2-party system problems you're talking about. It involves a hell of a lot more than showing up one particular day and being willing to pick "not the end of the world" instead of "yes end of world."
