100% bullshit

a vote is a move in a right direction

not voting means you're fine with things getting worse

you never wait until you get perfect, then you vote. it never ever works like that

the only way you get better candidates is to vote consistently, then people build off why people are voting and you get better next iteration

not voting is for the completely clueless or toxic perfectionists, who have no idea of their vote's worth or how things work, and they only make things worse

@TAI

It's not my responsibility to convince you to do your responsibility. You are merely defining the terms on how you are failing everything you care about, and you don't even understand how.

@TAI

of course it doesn't serve you. you don't participate

just amazing how that works, isn't it professor?

so let me just get this clear, what you believe: without any input from you, the world is just going to magically provide you with the perfect candidate, out of nowhere. and *THEN* you vote

without any feedback (a simple vote), what you want is just going to appear out of thin air on a silver platter?

a simple vote for *a direction* is beneath you. you want perfect up front

🤣 🤣 🤣

@TAI

Is it emotional for you? You expect politics to be like a romance? You want your heart to fill with passion when you vote?

It's a steering wheel. You steer in the direction you want. Or you don't. So someone else steers it to worse

That's it. That's the entire magic. You will never ever get better than that

Well... you could get a good direction and build on it iteratively to better

But you won't vote. So we get worse

What is it about the obvious that escapes you here?

🤣🤣🤣

you just supported my point: MAGA shows up to vote. so they took over the GOP

you don't vote. so you get shitty centrist dems

do you understand?

if the left showed up to vote we could have 50 AOCs. but instead emotionally compromised toxic perfectionists go "I won't vote until get what I want." holy purity is more important than accepting the obvious, apparently

but they live here. it effects them. why do they feel it won't effect them?

i know why:

entitlement and privilege

@benroyce @TAI

I think you're both wrong about this in different ways starting with assumed symmetry between Parties from the top leaders to the bottom base in what they're about and how they move.

@theothersimo @ciggysmokebringer @TAI

what? what is the voting rate amongst the young? da fuq you talking about?

@theothersimo @ciggysmokebringer @TAI

look at this image. why do you deny this obvious truth and push a lie?

nevermind this lie that evil super powerful centrist dems control everything

you mob the primaries, you own the fucking party

THAT is how it works

@theothersimo @ciggysmokebringer @TAI

🤣 🤣 🤣

are you bleeping serious?

you're trolling me right?
