    Despite breathless accusations by idiots, not voting does not equal a vote for the other side.

        Nope. Hold on, let’s wait a minute and see… Still no.

        It turns out that you have to earn your votes in a democracy. I know that seems weird but it’s true.

          You’re using a strawman here. Man, why are logical fallacies so pervasive here? Never said you don’t need to earn votes. I said that not voting for a candidate in a two party duopoly in a swing state is the same as actually voting for candidate because the race is so close. You’re welcome to try again though.

            No it’s a conspiracy, I asked time very nicely if I could use them as part of my joke.

            And I am sorry if I went over your head but let me keep this simple. I don’t owe the Democratic party shit. If they aren’t worth voting for then people aren’t going to vote. And that’s nobody’s problem but the Democratic party. It’s not a vote for Trump, or Hitler, or the lizard people. Only a vote for them is a vote for them. And telling people they must vote for the Democrats or else they’re a dirty fascist is ridiculous. They’re going to laugh at you. And rightly so.
