If you are going to make a principled vote in the name of sending a message, I think it’s only reasonable to be honest about the effects of that decision.

Oh my god I feel this so much.

Did you take a stand and stick to principles? Yes! Congratulations. But if you cannot accept that in doing so, you effectively voted for whatever you felt the majority of votes would go to.

I am related to several people who voted 3rd party, are adamant they did nothing to assist Trump getting elected, but ALSO hold the opinion that congressional members who vote "present" instead of yes or no are cowards hiding behind a "no vote" because they want the majority to win but they don't want to be on record for it.

What is a 3rd party vote if not "present"?

Lol I say I agree and I get shit on

Jim has such a baby face without a beard...

Definitely a stylish improvement!

three claimed to have been too intoxicated to know who was driving

Then they can all share the same maximum punishment.

If you ask dumb questions, you'll get dumb answers.

In five years, I'll still be fixing someone else's problem. Maybe yours, maybe somewhere in the delta quadrant. Who knows.

Better than writing pithy comments from the comfort of your armchair.

Please do inform us of all the successful actions you have taken in fighting fascism? Since clearly you're so well versed.

At the end of the day, how are you going to say “no” to a cop with an assault rifle?

With 50 of your friends, also with rifles, also having trained and drilled. Preferably with plenty of higher calibers than 556/223.

Other than that.... Good luck getting even the slightest hesitation when they go to bash the stock into your skull and stand on your neck.

Clearly you've never met someone like my wife.

Well, if you're ever in Ohio, you've got at least one extra member, and there might be a certain aquatic horse nearby that could lend support.

I don't think the three of us can accomplish much by force though...

I've got a wheelbarrow though.

Damn, if they got "dragged" I would love to be "dragged" into owning a 50 acre woodland area with a small stream, a clearing for expanding my food garden, and maybe have a few free range chickens with a small but over-engineered house...

I didn't know you could be dragged while leading the charge...

"Reason: advocating violence"

I see no advocation for violence, just the truth about people who need to be removed from power.

And I absolutely LOVE the implied "you can complain about all violence toward you but don't you DARE even suggest doing the same thing that's being done to you"

Yes masters, we should all die quietly.

This is posted on (dot) world, which is basically reddit but slightly left of center.

In other words, mods will remove anything that maybe might be construed in a way that messes with the status quo of the rich and polititicians stomping their boot down on those they deem below them.

Whether mods agree with my phrasing or not, that's what's happening. I'm sure they'd prefer to frame it as "making sure our community doesn't get taken down by The Man"
