    You are trying to conflate two senses of “respect.” You have the right to cast your ballot how you wish. But it is a fact that casting your ballot into the trash is foolish. Especially when the country is on the precipice as it is.

      Casting a vote based on my values is not the same as throwing it away—it’s a conscious decision to advocate for the future I believe in.

      Also I don’t feel that the country is on a “precipice.” I’m not scared of Trump.

        Pretty much sums this cat up, and something someone who genuinely cares about the environment would have a great deal of difficulty typing out.

        It is throwing it away, it will not count towards the final result in the slightest.

        You are beyond privileged if you aren’t concerned about another Donald admin.

        This all tracks with my existing opinion of you.

          I’m voting for who I want to, that’s not throwing it away at all.

          You are beyond privileged if you aren’t concerned about another Donald admin.

          That makes no sense. You do realize that half of the country isn’t voting for Harris, right. So is everyone not voting Harris “beyond privileged”?

          This all tracks with my existing opinion of you.

          Oh, I’m not surprised. You have made your bias very well known. I’m not voting the way you want me to, so now you think I am a “beyond privileged” person that couldn’t possibly just have a different opinion than you!

          I definitely see the narrative you are trying to portray. It is, however, incorrect.

          I support your right to vote for who you wish. And you support my right to vote for who I wish, right?

            It’d be cooler if you were honest about your position but you’re also posting on conservative communities about DEI and immigrants and so on. So we can see why you actually support spoiler candidates.

              I don’t write the news articles, bub, I just read 'me and post 'em if I find they are interesting.

              And what “position” do you think I have? I’ve also posted 110 articles to the Socialist community.

              I also post to science communities, education communities, religious communities, anti-religious communities and tech communities.

              I’ve also posted LIbertarian articles, and libertarians actually “spoil” votes for Trump.

              So why be vague? Why don’t you tell me what you think my “position” is? Come on, mate, let us in on what you think my “mission” is.
