Pardon me for not finding “vulnerable people need to die for my ideology” very convincing.

I never said Trump would help me. So your question is irrelevant.
Your actions will help elect him. 2+2=4 whether you're acknowledging it or not
Sounds like you’re exactly what I’ve been going on about this whole time. If you have nothing productive to say we’re done here.
Not voting is bad. Take a civics class or something
I’ve taken two. Try exploring exercises in reading comprehension.
"I'm literally dying of thirst. I can only pick from two glasses of water. One is poison and will definitely kill me. The other tastes bad and may give me the runs, but I'll survive."
"I have it! I'll drink neither and wait as others pour the poison water down my throat for me!"
If you get the runs when dying of thirst it will kill you as sure as poison, you nit.
You’ve literally made my point for me.
Way to miss the point by nitpicking the nuances of the analogy that didn't matter.
The analogy is perfect. You just don’t realize it.
Curious about this, maybe you can help me:
What's your theory for why the voting ratio of this post is 20:1 in favor of "voting makes sense in this election", and the ratio of the comments is like 1:1? Or do you just not think that's odd?
I have my theory, but I'm curious what yours is.
Why does it matter to me? I’ve made it clear that popular opinion no longer influences me because I sacrifice every voting round to elect the Neoliberal option that keeps the devil at bay. I’m not asking even for my candidate to win, but for concessions that matter to the lowest earners in America.
Withholding votes has long been a clear declaration that those looking to build a bloc need to do more than point at the other team and say: “You’re electing that.”
It’s not enough any more. I can’t keep voting your way because you need me to so absolutely desperately that you’re willing to do everything except give me what I’m asking for.
Why do you keep thinking that you can just bully me into voting your way?
