Sure, as i said, i don't disagree with that.

What does that argument have to do with whether or not people should assigned some responsibility for how they voted (or didn't) ?

[–] Senal 3 points 6 days ago

Indeed, i hadn't considered that.

Yes everyone understands all that. But are you saying we people that vote blue should keep trying the same failing tactics?

No, but if your tactic changes haven't been implemented by the time voting comes around and the choice remains "nazi's vs not nazi's" then you should be voting "not nazi's".

"The Dems continue to fuck up repeatedly, so i can understand why people chose nazi this time" isn't a tenable argument.

I'm not disagreeing with your disappointment in, well, everything.

I'm disagreeing with this part of your previous reply

Anyone else other than literally Nazie’s (aka Trump, JD, the majority of RNC members and leaders, and some of their voters), shouldn’t be blamed.

If a person understands that the choice is nazi vs not nazi and then actively chooses to not vote, they are tacitly choosing nazi.

"If i vote for the not-nazi's, they won't understand how disappointed in them i am" is not a good argument.

"Their policies don't align with what i want" is not a good argument

"They don't represent my values" is not a good argument

There is no good beginning half to the sentence "< INSERT REASON HERE >, so i tacitly enabled the nazi's"

Except maybe, "I genuinely believe the alternative is worse, so i tacitly enabled the nazi's".

Even then i'd probably disagree, but it would be a substantive argument.

it's to circumvent systems that flag reposts.

If you don’t have xyz why should I vote for you?

because in an effectively two party system where neither party has xyz you should definitely vote for the party that also aren't nazi's ?

The degree of closeness to your ideal of progressive policies doesn't mean shit when the choice is nazi's vs not nazi's.

Unless you are arguing that those weren't the choices available here ?

Ah, so it's a mutual block but initiated from one side.

Thanks.

Is...that not what's supposed to happen?

I don't have any other socials so I'm not too up on what the standards are.

I'm tempted to say Abed from community (the TV show) the representation could be considered subjectively accurate.

The social situations are a bit contrived though, given it's focus as a comedy, so it may not be useful as a representation of real life interactions.
