    Want my vote? Earn my vote. We’re asking Biden to do the bare minimum. Don’t blame the voters, blame the candidate whose job it is to earn those votes.

      I get shit for it every time I say this.

      I don’t vote “against” candidates, I vote “for” them. If a candidate wants my vote, they can act like it, otherwise I’ll be content to let the rest of my state vote blue like always.

      Yelling at me isn’t going to change anything, but liberals keep acting like I live in a swing state and their futures depend on shaming me into supporting their half of our pro-genocide, one-party state.

      Needless to say, I’m not having it.

      Fair enough. Your pure vote will never be sullied by the dark truths of party politics. Put it in a special glass case on the shelf. Think of it fondly as you enjoy the consequences.
