Votes are earned.
I care that people are harmed and am willing to vote in an attempt to reduce that harm, than I guess I’m a lib
This is actually not the part that makes you a lib. Hectoring people in a left space about VOTE is what we consider lib
Weird definition of liberal but I’ll take it. My panties are not in a bunch because people call me a liberal, especially when it has to be redefined to apply.
I’m not defining or redefining anything. I’m saying VOTE evangelism is some lib nonsense, that’s really the extent of what I’m saying.
voting is fine if you think there’s a reason to engage in liberal democracy. Sometimes their are reasons to. There’s never a reason to VOOOOTE evangelize on a left space

Sure there is. Auth-left spaces are full of people with high levels of empathy that I view as mislead thinking that people like Xi actually care about minorities, LGBT, etc. People learn about atrocities and lies in U.S. history and that seems to make them think that enemies of the U.S. must be good, but that’s a fallacy. I hope that somebody reading my comments will start to question their allegiance to rich powerful men like Xi and Putin (and no, I have no allegiance to Biden, I just think he’s gonna fuck me over less than Trump).
Let’s say Dems and Repubs are identical in most ways (colonialism, etc). It’s a fact that fascists are more dangerous to vulnerable populations than garden variety conservatives (if you don’t get this you must be either privileged or just don’t care about the collateral damage caused attempting to get your way). Therefore it makes sense for a member of one or more of these vulnerable populations (which I am) to encourage using a provided mechanism (voting) that people fought for in an attempt at self-preservation as well as preservation of other vulnerable groups.
