    Roughly a third of eligible voters abstained from voting in 2024. And you want me to pretend that for months leading up to it, the internet wasn’t flooded with self-proclaimed leftists screaming about how they won’t cast a vote and you shouldn’t either?

    Plutocrats and propaganda are certainly to blame. And if you think they don’t infiltrate leftist spaces on the internet to astroturf their agenda by posing as leftists, then their propaganda is working.

    Your entire second paragraph is disingenuous so I’m not going to bother. Comparing voting to door-to-door evangelism and prayer? Really?

    But I don’t think it actually discourages a single progressive from running if they want to.

    You don’t?

    If you want to actually do something I recommend some autonomous action.

    Okay fed.

      Their second paragraph is literally how the political opposition supporting Trump approaches their politics.

      Not bothering with a reality you do not wish to contend with is very on-brand here. Almost too much so.

        And you’re they’re inserting that into this conversation as if it’s relevant to what we’re discussing, and then acting like I’m refusing to confront the reality of it when in fact all I’m doing is refusing to follow a red herring.

        Hence, it’s disingenuous and therefore very on-brand for you.

        Edit: just realized you’re a different commenter

          It’s all a public conversation, which is the point. Unless you delete or edit yourself, it gets to stand publicly for scrutiny.

            That’s fine, I don’t see how that changes anything. It still wasn’t relevant to the conversation and doesn’t say anything about the stance I was actually taking. So I didn’t bother responding to it, because it was a red herring.

            I could randomly say “Killing babies is evil”, but that doesn’t automatically mean that you support infanticide. And if you decide it’s not worth your time to say “Duh” then I’m not going to be like “Aha! Now it stands publicly for scrutiny. Are you sure you don’t want to delete or edit your comment?”

            That’s honestly kinda batshit
