Lot of centrists downvoting this because they hate the idea of earning votes.

Because I hate the idea of encouraging people to set themselves up to become lifetime losers. Its bad for them. It's bad for progressives. It's good for conservatives and reactionaries.

Courting voters is bad for voters?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

No. What is bad for voters is when voters do not vote for the viable candidate that is closest to what they want. When they don't do that, they are setting themselves up to become a lifetime loser in politics. They will either never get what they want, or if they do get what they want, it will only happen because of other people voting differently than how they vote.

None of you will ever understand that votes have to be earned.
