I stated my case, defended it, and provided conversational example of the position.
You deployed the "le redditor" debate club starter kit and now cry going foul. You even tried to directly misquote me and got called out.
Oopsie, sorry you bungled this.
this mischaracterization of the facts serves only to protect your ego. anyone who reads this thread will know exactly what happened.
Lol and they are already voting accordingly.
We are reading it, we agree with the other guy. You're wrong and also appear arguing in bad faith or with the least possible effort.
If by inaction or dumb action you get the candidate elected that you least support, you have helped said candidate into office. You had the power to choose, and from their perspective you helped them. You can argue that by not supporting a candidate that's all you did, but the pyrrhic "victory" here is just moving the reference frame. Voting is teleological yo: why you did what you did doesn't matter, only the outcome does.
