Im used to idiots, I'll be fine. Not voting doesn't magicaly cause either candidate to need more votes. Thats simply not how math works, it just doesnt add anything. If you have to walk 10 miles and I decide not to carry you one mile, you don't end up having to walk 11 miles.

Its absolutly untrue that sitting our support Trump. By definition it supports no one. It doesn't change the numbe of votes either candidate needs to win, it simply doesn't add anything to either. This is quite literally mathematically true.

Also there is always a default. Default is what happens if you do nothing or change nothing, which means by necessity default is not voting. Thats how defining a default works. In fact, US citizens arent even registered to vote by default, you have to do it yourself. Thats why people have been pushing automatic voter registration.

According to studies theres very likely already forever plastics in my balls and my brain. What do I have left to lose but my plastic chains.

The Americans with Disabilities Act is in a similar spot then. Its a good law, but we've been to court multiple times to force them to actually use it. Including going all the way up to the supreme court in the Obergefell decision, and more recently seeking conscent decrees because many states still don't follow many parts of the ADA, a 30 year old law, but continue to not suffer any punitive actions.

I just view HR as a less educated lawyer who represenrs the company and that's served me plenty well.

I feel you. I have that autism where I tend to jump in convos to correct facts and people take it as the biggest insult and assume it means I think exactly the opposite of everything they say. I've found it's easier for me to just lean into it since it's going to happen regardless, I may as well be the one dictating the terms.

So you're just making things up about Trump to be mad at instead of directing that at the literal guy abeding the genocide because you want to deflect criticism away from the people who are in charge? And you think this is helpful? Do you go into threads about Trump and talk about what Blinken does?

He's lucky being American gives you immunity from the Hague on the basis of 'We will invade Europe if you try Americans there'

So you're saying the bark is worse if you bite?

Just as a familiar refrain? It strikes me as basically half our GDP.
