Yes but in discussing politics we are not relegated to the same limitations we have in voting. Thus there is no contradiction between voting down-ballot Democrat, then going home and tweeting “I hate Dick Cheney and the Democrats.”
OP makes a clownish commentary on this. If someone did not vote blue who probably should have, shame on them, but the Democrats are still wrong.
Yes, political discussions are not as limited in options as voting and there absolutely should be a political discussion about the Democratic party. They suck, have sucked and will continue to suck, unless they change.
And I agree that there's no contradiction. I'd even go as far as to say there was no contradiction in voting for Harris and then tweeting "the democratic candidate sucks", because you have to vote for someone and Trump (clearly) was the worse option.
My point was rather that if you dislike a party and you don't vote for them then you are in support of the other party, even if you don't vote at all. The nuances get kicked out when it comes to voting.
And that is a dog shit point. An easy example: California. Nobody who didn't vote in CA supported Trump by not voting, unless you don't know how elections work
Stop trying to blame those not at fault you weird authoritarian
Just because the electoral college is a stupid thing doesn't mean I'm not right. Had it been a popular vote those non-votes would've mattered.
Why yes, if it was a completely different situation then it'd be a completely different situation
10/10 you dolt
"You would be right if we did things the right way, but because we're doing things the wrong way you are also wrong."
I guess I can't argue that.
ok fair but not relevant to my own point post it somewhere relevant next time if you want me to support lol
