    Despite breathless accusations by idiots, not voting does not equal a vote for the other side.

        Nope. Hold on, let’s wait a minute and see… Still no.

        It turns out that you have to earn your votes in a democracy. I know that seems weird but it’s true.

          You’re using a strawman here. Man, why are logical fallacies so pervasive here? Never said you don’t need to earn votes. I said that not voting for a candidate in a two party duopoly in a swing state is the same as actually voting for candidate because the race is so close. You’re welcome to try again though.

            No it’s a conspiracy, I asked time very nicely if I could use them as part of my joke.

            And I am sorry if I went over your head but let me keep this simple. I don’t owe the Democratic party shit. If they aren’t worth voting for then people aren’t going to vote. And that’s nobody’s problem but the Democratic party. It’s not a vote for Trump, or Hitler, or the lizard people. Only a vote for them is a vote for them. And telling people they must vote for the Democrats or else they’re a dirty fascist is ridiculous. They’re going to laugh at you. And rightly so.

              Sigh… You are just a magnet to strawman fallacies and cannot reject any opportunity to grandstand about your feelings. Answer my question or fuck off lol. You keep taking the opportunity to slam on the Dems but you refuse to address the claims you made. Idk why people cannot answer questions and pretty consistently drive the conversation toward what they want to talk about, all the fucking time. So lame lol.

                Your bad faith question about logical fallacies? Sure but first you have to tell me why you’re a troll? (Two people can play this game.)

                And no, the only “slamming” here is that the Dems didn’t earn votes. It’s a simple truth. Which is why it takes bad faith questions and aggressive attitudes to cover up if you’re trying to convince people they’re required to vote against the other guy.
