If you don't believe in electoralism, you can simply choose not to engage. You can do other organizing. This is not hard. Do the thing you think needs to be done instead.

This goes for the Mitch McConnell photo too. Most likely explanation: poorly edited photo of a very sick old man. Some PSAs: Asking a chatbot is not how you detect a deepfake. Asking AI when a photo was taken does not work. AI hallucinates all the fucking time, people.

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

One thing you can definitely say about Lindsay Graham is that he was, at one point, alive
