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 try not to unless I absolutely have to. If I absolutely have to, I ask them why their cracker-ass bloo saviors paid into funds pursuing Project 2025 in the first place. Followed by a staunch, unbending stance that no blue cracker or misleading coon can purchase, cudgel, or cajole a vote for genocide out of me, regardless of what happens to them. I genuinely don’t like settler-Amerikans or their waterbearers enough to bend my principles for them at this point.
