Hard agree of the non-voter stance this past election. Refreshing to see some blunt honesty, which you always give, but saying it out loud makes it all the more validating to feel.
Marc, you say "they" like "they" are united... but maybe "they"-- the Repúblican 50% of the country-- breakdown to something like 30% who like the policies but don't approve of the methods, 15% who have always and will always vote Republican no matter how or why the party alters, and 5% who love Jackboot Nazis in the streets? If so, if we add back in the liberal 50%, the Nazis account for 2 to 3% of population but an overwhelming amount of the state-approved and funded violence. Admittedly, that's a big IF.
If one did not vote in 2024, one is complicit in the disgusting rape of democracy and civil rights we as a nation, and people like Ms Good and Mr Pretti in particular, are going through. For me, I marched against Vietnam, I marched against LBJ, I marched against the draft, I protested Iran/Contra, I protested Bush I and Bush II, marched against Trump 1.0 and 2.0 and will only stop marching and protesting when the legs give out. My new motto, replacing INDICT CONVICT IMPRISON on the tee shirts I had made for Trump 1.0 is “SEE YOU IN NUREMBERG, FUCKERS!”

Also, I'm crappy at math. Love ya man!
