We have reached a fundamental disagreement. You want to believe in a reality that doesn't exist, while I'm forced to endure the one where violence and terrorism keeps working. The reality that every active governmental system is predicated on violence and terrorism. But most of all is ours. I can do a list of events proving my point, but truth is I'm pretty lazy today, and I've already written you off as either too naive right now, or a purpose-filled bad actor. Either way you read as a Republican Asset, I care not whether its incompetence or maliciousness.
Losing is convincing, but you have made a fundamental judgment of error when it comes to people. The DNC might be "losing" but the individuals are winning, they're richer today than they were yesterday. Your Non-votes lets them grift longer, while also not providing any data on the grift to be able to prove it to others.
Seriously, you convincing others to not vote is dangerous, and you deserve to be punched in the mouth like the Republicans you're helping.
So losing is convincing, but voting for people who you believe personally benefit regardless of whether they win or lose is the solution?
Whats the mechanism there?
And I think “agree with my electoral strategy or you deserve to be punched in the mouth” rather neatly demonstrates the problem with your conception of politics 😂 you must end up in a lot conversations that frustrate you.
