Oh, I see, not voting is consent. Did my consent go to Kamala? Or did it go to Trump?

Nonsense. It can be laziness, but laziness is not consent.
Behold the Trump supporter spewing toxicity on someone for consenting to Trump's rule...
Just like a white woman. Give him everything his little heart desires and he bitches about it for months on end.

TIL that voting for neither the mugger nor the rapist means I consented to being mugged and/or raped ...

You could have voted for Batman, even if he didn't have a chance.
The argument for protest votes vs. a lesser evil or a minimal good is far better than the one for not voting.

Given what is denoted by the concepts of consent, robbery, and rape, one cannot consent to being robbed or raped.
Any claim that either voting or not voting can somehow make robbery or rape consensual is a bizarre and self-contradictory non sequitur.
Voting and not voting are expressions of preferences, not grantings of consent.
If I express a preference for being punched in the gut over being shot in the head, I have not thereby granted consent to be punched in the gut.
Likewise, if I decline to express a preference for being kicked in my left nut over being kicked in my right nut (or vice versa), I have not thereby granted consent to be kicked in the nuts.

"much more" LOL
Yeah, it's gonna need to be "much more" to clear the gap between $3 trillion minus $9 billion (and that's just to break even).
"much more" indeed

Voting signifies complacency, and civilly agrees with outcomes. It keeps the status quo alive. The more people who walk away from the state-sponsored mafia, the more frightened government will become.
Ron Paul and Tom Massie themselves don't advocate voting, even for them. They prefer to reach the hearts and minds which is the only way out of this mess. I wore my anarchist shirt to one of the dinners and Tom Massie actually pointed to it and said "that's exactly what it's going to take!!!". I still have the video of that
If voting doesn't matter, how did Paul and Massie get elected?

May the odds be ever in your favor.
Example: The republican representatives who represent their republican constituents where MIC manufacturing is deeply embedded and provide jobs does not represent me. Now apply that to any/all industries and areas. Then calculate in the democrats and those areas. The higher up the ladder voting is, the less it will represent you. Of course, people may give and take and compromise, but look where that got us.
One thing for certain is, I am super-duper glad that I did not vote for Israel and my hands are clean
But then, everybody
