      What is my “extremist bullshit?” Thinking that democracy is a good thing?

          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.

              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.

                  when you vote for a candidate, they get +1 vote. when you don’t vote, every candidate gets +0 votes. that’s how it works. you’re spreading misinformation.
