    Lol what is it that people like you don’t understand? Do you want to be kicked in the nuts twice or once? Easy fucking choice every single time.

      I’d reckon it’s more natural to try and avoid any nut-kicking, but hey, that’s me.

        I wasn’t going to comment on this originally but…

        What a fucking dipshit stupid non-answer that also exposes how little you think and how little empathy you have.

        Oh I’ll just not participate and I’ll never be subject to whatever law/power that happens next, but more importantly fuck everyone around me that this will effect far more than I, because I’m privileged enough to not have to really think of dealing with it. I live in moron-land where only my thoughts dictate what happens in the world.

        Your actions have affected lives around you whether you believe in it or not, stop being this fucking naive in the face of all the people you’ve let down. Shame on you.

        P.S. to mods, before canning this comment, do a real good think about how uncivilized having an opinion like this really is. Weigh out who’s really affected by this type of thinking and spreading it vs. this one moron’s feelings for once.

        That’s not an option. So that just means you are delusional.
        If you didn’t vote for Harris, you helped Trump get elected. That’s basically the same as voting for Trump.
        All the morons that for instance criticized how Democrats handled Israel/Gaza, and recommended not to vote Democrat, are partly responsible for what’s going on there now, with no help coming through, and widespread starvation and disease!
        All the morons that complained about inflation, despite it was getting back to normal after COVID, are responsible for the economic chaos we have now.

        By not supporting the lesser evil, you are actually helping the greater evil.
        There are lots of way more constructive things to do, that can help push things in the right direction, than just being in denial.

          One could argue that by voting you’re supporting the status quo, the bipartisan democracy heavily invested in said status quo. You are the one obstructing change.

          Or to say it with a quote:

          If democracy demands compulsory voting for candidates people can’t believe in, it’s not democracy, it’s extortion.

          EDIT: One further thought on that reasoning: it might actually make one morally obliged to vote for a third party.

            One can argue anything, but that doesn’t mean it makes sense.
            If you want to change American democracy, which I agree is sorely needed, then you need to engage actively in politics. UNTIL such change has arrived, you are still a moron for not preventing a greater evil, when you are given that option.
            You are saying you won’t use the democratic option you have because it’s not democratic enough. Well I got news for you, democracy can never be perfect, because democracy is about compromise.
            Here we have 12 parties in parliament we can vote on, so we have options for mostly everyone. But it’s still a game of compromise.
            If you can’t find the best compromise among 2 parties, you sure as hell can’t among several either. You just want to whine, so you would probably still whine even if you lived in the best democracy in the world.

                Thanks, IDK if he was trolling or a Russian asset undermining the west, or if he really could be that stupid?
                I just thought it important not to let his idiocy stand. Because I think people like him are harmful.

                  Harmful for sure, and unfortunately it has a very good chance of being idiot. Sad to say, but best case scenario is either Russian asset or trolling. I’ve met people, and I gotta say those options are unlikely.

                  God help us all.
