Elijah Nelson @sintra4.bsky.social · 7hThis is a perfect way to describe what I've been feeling on this topic. A tiny portion of self-described leftists sit out an election while tens of millions of conservative white dudes actively vote for fascists, and it feels like a lot of people think the former group is a bigger problem. 160
