    ROFL! I’d love to be there when you learn that life exists within the grey area between the boundaries of your extremist black-and-white ideology.

    I’d imagine you’ll feel so much better.

        Right… show me the nuance in your extremist bullshit. I’d love to see this.

            You think democracy is tossing away a vote because of a single issue.

              Where did I say that? Democracy is voting on how to run things. You’re against that, you prefer a bunch of mini-dictators, I prefer workers to democratically run production.

              Pretty simple.

                What you don’t understand because you’re so incredibly polarized, is that we don’t have that luxury right now. It’s either drink piss or eat shit. Take your pick. But I’ll warn you that not picking- equals eating shit. Want an explanation? Okay. But just this once:

                Conservatives vote. IN DROVES. A vote for Biden cancels out a vote for Trump. That’s how it works. And every voter that stays home, is one more vote for a dictator. It’s one more vote for oppression.

                The problem with people like you, is that you’re holding out for an ideal situation in a world where there cannot be an ideal situation. You plug your fucking nose and you vote to keep us going until we CAN bring change. Right now/ we’re fighting for the SURVIVAL of democracy. In other words;

                WE DON’T GET TO HAVE IT THE WAY WE WANT IT TOMORROW MORNING UNLESS IT SURVIVES THROUGH THE NIGHT.

                And sadly… it’s stubborn kids like you that think you’re taking a stand by refusing to vote that don’t realize that come morning, there won’t be anything left for you to stand on.

                YOU will be blamed when Trump wins. Just like how your kind let him win in 2016 because of what went down with Sanders.

                Wake up. This isn’t a time to throw temper tantrums. Vote like your life relies on it. Because for many-

                It does.

                  Where, exactly, did I suggest not voting for Biden? I’ve always advocated for voting for liberals over fascists to protect against fascism, but that actual positive change must be made at grassroots levels.

                  In actuality, it’s radical liberals that despise leftists and demonize them for being reluctant to fall in line that encourage voter apathy. You’ve drunk your own kool-aid to the point that you think I suggested voting third party or not voting, when that never happened. Smart electoralism would toss the leftists the occasional bone and actually move in the correct direction every once in a while if they didn’t want to see increased voter apathy among leftists. It’s standard electoralism.

                  Touch grass.

                    Apologies if I got my conversations crossed. I’ve been arguing with kids who are blatantly refusing to vote because of Biden’s response to the Gaza thing. My argument here should reflect that.

                    Most of what I said wouldn’t apply to you in this regard.

                  every voter that stays home, is one more vote

                  it’s one less vote. stop spreading election misinformation.
