    Saying this is a no-brainer is essentially in and of itself, a no-brainer. But yet, here we are, frustratingly attempting to educate leftists and undecided people on the dangers of “protest voting” and how cataclysmically dangerous it is to assume that you know better without ever seeming to possess the ability to simply just prove it.

    We have the receipts. We know damn well what is going to happen if Trump is allowed to win.

    And if you think you’re teaching someone a lesson with your withheld vote, I’ve got news for you-

    A LOT of people are going to be hurt. And the ones you think it will be, the ones you’d want it to be- won’t be counted among them.

    I promise you this.

      Couldn’t tell democrats to try and please their demographics instead of republicans. No, the left vote is “owed” to democrats no matter how much they turn their back on those voters. And then y’all wonder why people are disillusioned with politics.

        Well, when your entire political view is based on unsubstantiated rhetoric, I’d imagine it’s probably pretty easy to arrive at such a conclusion.

        No vote is owed, my friend. That’s just something you all seem to like to tell yourself so that your smug arrogance has a semblance of purpose.

        And trust me when I say this:

        No one is wondering why you’re disillusioned with politics… disillusion- of course, being the keyword here.

        Enjoy watching from the docks while rest of us pull this ship into port without your help.

      If both sides are the same, then drag thinks the “both sides” must be the Democrats and the Leninists. Because those are the two groups who say they’re leftists but do little to help others. Drag agrees with the non voting leninists on a factual basis, and also thinks they’re complete fools on a practical basis.

          Maybe they’re talking about themselves in 3rd person (dragonfucker)? 🙃

                Oh! I get it. Yeah… Sorry but as a rule, I don’t generally discuss things with people that refer to themselves in 3rd person.

                    Yeah. No. That’s fine for you. Do your thing. But I’m already going to have to get over the ridiculous point you tried to make about democrats being similar to lennonists. I’m not going to also try and navigate through a discussion with someone that thinks they’re a dragon.
