        Buddy, your opinion on me and my intelligence is irrelevant. You understand that right? Thinking that you have any business sharing that opinion is what’s childish.

        If you want to be an adult then the adult conversation to have with yourself is to realize your preferred candidate either needs my vote and so your best option to get it is to join me in my efforts to affect a policy or your preferred candidate doesn’t need my vote. I recognize the choice before me and have made mine. Now it’s your turn to do the same.

          You live in make believe world where you think your ideas change reality. Tell me how abstaining and allowing Trump to get elected, makes your life better? Fuck all the other people you’re fucking over, literally killing, in some cases. YOU. WHAT DO YOU GAIN FROM A TRUMP PRESIDENCY IN JAN?

            abstaining from voting for genocidal geriatrics is doing the right thing. it’s an end in itself.

              So the 66% of the population who don’t vote for no particular reason at all are, “doing the right thing.”

                  It’s functionally the same. All you’ve done is exclude yourself from the system just like what the majority of people do every cycle.

                    that’s a consequentialist view of ethics, and one to which i don’t subscribe

                  No it isn’t. You’re not standing out or standing up. Nobody knows the difference why you stayed home and let Trump get elected.

            No I believe my behavior changes reality. Not only that, you believe my behavior changes reality.

              Yes. Your behavior changes things. Not how you imagine it. That’s why you’re dangerous.

                    @mods this guy has told me to “shut the fuck up” multiple times, called me a “bastard” and here they are calling me a “terrorist”. Am I allowed to respond in kind or does this kind of behavior eventually result in a ban?
