Getting real sick of the “don’t vote” anarchists. They remind me of insufferable debate-me atheists; you want to agree, but they make it hurt the whole time.
You really don’t want to agree though. Voter suppression only hurts you, they’re either blatant russian trolls or completely clueless about just how much blood and effort their ancestors had to give to earn that vote in the first place.
A lot of soldiers died fighting for colonialism under British rule. That doesn’t make colonialism a good thing.
I hate this argument that’s just being circulated around but nobody ever stops to question.
If you want to make a case for voting for the lesser evil, there’s more convincing arguments. I have mine that apply to my own country and I’m sure you have yours.
And this is exactly the kind of lack of perspective that guy is talking about. Imagine if there was no “lesser evil” and you lived in an authoritarian regime where those who love money and power continually rise to the top and take advantage of everybody else. There’s not even a chance in that system for peaceful reform, and that’s what don’t vote idiots don’t get because they’ve never been outside of a modern democracy and have very interesting history “study” habits (usually quoting things out of context and running away when someone tries to hold them to their shit).
No, it is not. The reason the parent poster gave to vote at all costs is not logically sound and won’t convince anyone that isn’t already convinced.
And convincing others to keep dictators out of power is more efficient at keeping dictators out or power than just posing as morally right. You ain’t winning any vote alone, it takes majorities.
I don’t understand your argument. Things aren’t the best, so fuck it do nothing? Let the people who will vote make all the decisions? I just don’t get it. If you can’t be bothered to vote, ever if it’s for the lesser of two evils, then what can you be bothered to do besides comment online?

He’s a “revolutionary” as depicted in the historical documentary The Life of Brian
No need for unproductive name-calling. I didn’t disrespect you.
Hopefully it serves as a wakeup call. Not intended to be unproductive, but you’re right I shouldn’t have been rude.
PoV: you live in a bourgeois democracy
Do you think that Russia invests significant resources in using English speakers to troll in niche reddit clones?
That honestly comes off as super conspiracy brained.
