  • bacteria, fungus, plants, protozoa, and (arguably) viruses are all alive, too. bed bugs. rattlesnakes. being alive isn't actually that special, nor a reason, in itself, to refrain from eating or killing that thing.

  • i know but there is definitely a double entendre in there.

  • harm reduction has a specific meaning, and voting is not harm reduction

  • you shouldn't treat animals like smartphones, either. you treat different things differently.

  • there must be some difference, since they didn't get the same result

  • every other society that has kept trump-like figures from seizing power....

  • tehy also weren't stuck with trump-vs-trumplight for 60+ years as their only options. voting for trumplight and getting trump seems like it should be a probable outcome, and having better options to begin with seems like a better strategy than hoping full-fat trump isn't selected. of course there's also the problem that the democrats have been complicit in concentrating power in the executive for that entire time, so when someone gets in and uses the power in a way they don't like (or pretend not to like), tehy really only have themselves to blame.

  • it’s still the most effective strategy so far

    other societies have prevented trump-like figures from seizing power. we could look to them for the kinds of things we could try. or you could keep feeding the same machine that made trump in the first place.

  • it was the least effective strategy, since he seized power twice. it totally failed twice.

  • but it failed twice. it has a 33% success rate, and even when it supposedly succeeded he continued to weild power.

  • from my perspective, it is the same strategy that created a political climate in which trump could be effective, and has failed twice now to stop him from seizing the presidency.

  • so you know your strategy is impotent

  • I haven't endorsed any strategy, have I? I'm saying yours is ineffective

  • Even during that time he wasn't stopped. he was still pulling the strings in Congress. he was still shaping the national narrative.

  • that didn't stop him.

  • it's not. what's objectively true is that he has not been stopped, no matter how hard you vote.

  • this isn't evidence of astroTurfing, nor is it evidence of misrepresenting vegan philosophy.

  • instead of showing public record, why don't you show the posts you purged for no reason and are now lying about
