    How the fuck does not voting for a candidate count as a vote for the other one? Are you hearing yourself? You’re just making shit up.

    Not voting for candidate A doesn’t mean candidate B got a vote in any shade of reality. But somehow, in your liberal hellhole of a psyche, the two actions are seemingly indistinguishable.

        You vote, someone votes against you, there’s 2 votes and theyre tied. You don’t vote, someone still votes against you, that’s one vote against you

        You understand this isn’t a real world scenario though, right? In the actual system America uses you vote and it doesn’t matter because someone else’s vote counted 3 times more than yours.

            We’re not singing a defeated tone jackass, we aren’t on your side. Defeatism would be folding to the blue fascists

            “Defeatism is when you try to change things and insist that actually a better world is possible and we don’t have to unconditionally support fascist genociders” <- You.

            The hubris you have should be studied. I cannot fathom saying so much while knowing so little. To you, 10 seconds with a speak-and-spell would be an intellectual quantum leap.

        In that case I can ease your mind. Everyone here didn’t vote for the democrats 1000 times, but they didnt vote for the republicans 10000 times, so we actually gave democrats 9000 votes each. Sadly we all live in Bushwick, so our votes dont matter anyway.
