I know we all like to talk about how we justify this or that position to vote-shamers, but here’s where I’ve stood since 2012:

I believe when we contribute our vote to somebody who harms others, we are complicit and we lose some part of our humanity in doing so.

So I will never, ever vote for a pro-war candidate or party who will do this to other people again (Syria, 2016). It’ll never happen. https://twitter.com/realstevecox/status/1310446395573239808?s=21

And I’ll never vote for a candidate or party who thinks there’s an acceptable number of people killed by police, jailed at our border, jailed for victimless crimes inside our own country, or who die from lack of affordable health insurance/care.
4/4
It’s just not going to happen. I will abstain from voting altogether rather than be complicit with evil acts.

That’s it. And there’s no shaming or arguing that will move me from this spot.
