  • Since voting is relatively low investment, my personal view is that it's best to pursue a variety of strategies.

    That's why I disagree with anti-electoralists. They're certainly right that it's not sufficient, but there's no benefit whatsoever to not voting anyway. It's one small part of a broader course of action, but it's still a part.

  • It's the job of my dentist to encourage responsible dental hygiene. But if I don't brush, it's my teeth that rot.

  • Most nights I sleep on the cheap, hard futon couch I've had since college. If I sleep in my actual bed too many nights in a row, my back starts to get stiff.

  • The metaphysical musings were... unexpected. What a bizarre conversation.

  • ... its just boring as fuck.

    We clearly have outrageously different criteria

  • When did Harris bomb Iran?

  • Harris would not have done the same, so yes voting would have prevented it. Not voting did not prevent the genocide in Gaza. So you accomplished nothing, and things got worse.

    Ad-hominem all you want, your opinion has no value whatsoever. Grow up and think about something besides virtue signaling for once.

  • Life has many doors, Ed-boy

  • Braindead bad faith take. Who's gloating? It's tragic. This could have been prevented.

  • I don't support either of those things, but they're happening either way. Hence why I voted for the one poised to do less. Unfortunately, not enough people did the same thing, and now we're bombing Iran. I guess you won. Congrats?

  • I learned on tiny back roads in hill country in a GMC Yukon Denali. That thing was the size of a small bedroom. Can confirm, driving anything else is a piece of cake.

  • Do you not even remember your own point?

    If Democrats would stop voting for what they thought was the lesser evil things wouldn't keep getting worse

    That's precisely splitting the vote.

  • Who is the DNC mass murdering right now? The government is controlled by Republicans right now. The Democrats losing the election did not end the genocide in Gaza, in many ways it's gotten even worse. And now Republicans are doing additional terrible things that the Democrats would not have done.

    You care more about posturing and virtue signaling your purity than you care about other countries. Everything is worse now but at least you didn't compromise.

  • So then you admit that it's a useless hypothetical, and your proposed strategy doesn't actually accomplish anything except splitting the vote to let the far right win more?

  • When did I "shit on" it? I'm just saying it's a complicated undertaking with practical concerns that require consideration.

  • When did I say that? I'm for a general strike, I'm just not for a half-assed general strike that's doomed to fizzle out within a week.
