    “Not endorsing my candidate is the same as endorsing my opposition!”

    Hey, welcome to a FPTP system where two candidates have near-majority support from the electorate! Sorry that you think that welcoming fascism and genociding minorities is worth you feeling smug about yourself when you fill out your ballot!

      If I give my toddler a choice between eating broccoli or liver, he’ll eat the broccoli but he sure as fuck won’t be endorsing it

        1. Your toddler isn’t one out of many voters. If your toddler understood that advocacy for broccoli was the difference between him having to eat broccoli and him having to eat liver, I’m quite sure that his advocacy would be quite vociferous.

        2. Your toddler is not a citizen with a share of the decision-making responsibility, and it’s concerning that you choose to reduce your agency in this example to such an infantile state.

        Did you just rationalize your political position using the reasoning of a toddler?

        Because it sure looks like you did.

            Someone get this person their clutching pearls! They’ve been presumed, PRESUMED!

            If you had said assumed you might have something here. You might want to check the definition of assumed bs presumed, if you’re confused which I assume you are because I presume you’re a moron.

    Hahahahahahahaha

    You’re either dumb or this is propaganda

    So Republicans don’t support genocide or would genocide less here? What’s the thought
