Not engaging is also a choice, a very shit one in this case. You either contributed -1, 0, or +1 to a fascist takeover, sure 0 might be better than +1 but taking a neutral stance against such a dogshit prospect really puts the chair in armchair revolutionary, and doesn’t make you much better than the cheeto worshippers.
Imagine saying that with a straight face with one side has just declared they want to very actively partake in the genocide and just do the job themselves.
This is like saying giving a murderer a knife is the same as going in with a machine gun yourself.
Correct. If you didn’t vote then you are spineless, a coward and lack any morals. You saw fascism coming and ignored what everyone said and then decided that it wasn’t worth the bare minimum effort of voting.
If you did not cast a ballot and you were eligible to do so then the things I want to say to you would get me banned from lemmy and probably arrested.
Man, you have just actively avoided logic at every possible opportunity here. You’re just burying your head in the sand and screaming that everyone else is wrong. The downvotes isn’t because i’m popular, it is because you have no idea what you’re talking about. Have fun with that, I’m done wasting time on you. There’s no point in having a conversation with you if you’re just going to divorce yourself from reality like a Trump or Pollievre voter.
Have fun with the bed you made. You aren’t worth a single second more of my time.
I mean my vote hasn’t mattered in the last 2 elections. My state hasnt flipped blue since Obama. There’s a lot of situations where voting is a waste of time. Making that not be true is what’s going to increase voter turnout, not trying to shame them for something they’re not responsible for
If you didn’t vote then you voted. Got it.
You’re complicit in the result, correct.
That’s not what OP said. He said not voting is voting.

OP is saying +1 = 0.
Both sides were pro-genocide, you need a multi-party system

K. That doesn’t explain your nonsense about “If you didn’t vote then you voted”.
It literally does. Your reading comprehension skills are not my problem.
It’s not my reading comprehension that’s at issue here, it’s your abilities with basic logic.
Ratio says otherwise. You are getting hammered with downvotes because you can’t grasp the simple concept that I put forward.
Ooh, “I’m popular so I’m right”. Yep, you have a major problem with logic.

I avoided logic? Aren’t you the person who claimed “if you didn’t vote then you voted”?

And if everyone in your state who thought that actually decided to vote then it might have actually made an impact.
