    the funny thing for me is, I actually did go and :vote:, then immediately started criticizing Biden and was told IRL I'm on the wrong sports team and hurting people.
    Bitch I did the thing! :vote:ing is not just another cultural signifier in the culture wars! I helped him win now I can't criticize him? He owes us nothing? This is just optics for personal merit? You don't fucking say.

        This seems like a capitulation to nominalism. Elections, despite how stupid and useless they are, can have a material effect on the world and it seems like giving this up is conceding the 'signifier-ontology' to the shitlibs. Idk obviously I'm an idiot
