I mean for context something like 70 million early voters already cast their ballot, so this quite literally cannot change their vote and that number is roughly half of the entire votes cast the entire last election. So in all likelihood, roughly half the people you’re mad at can’t react at all because of how long she waited.

All thanks to the wonderful muscles of the human ass. I can’t help but laugh sometimes.

Early enough in human history we weren’t even relying on weapons to hunt as much as the fact that despite not having as high of a top speed as our prey, we could literally chase them until they died of exhaustion, that doesn’t seem like gender would make too much of a difference in it. We all get out ran by prey in the short term, and we all have the stamina and speed to catch up.

High, especially if they’re younger. Half of Gen Z and 40% of Millennials have lied about who they vote for in what researchers believe is an attempt to not strain work, familial, or social relationships. 27% Democrats, 24% Republican and I think 20% of Independents.

It’s not just bigots, if that was the case why would independents and republicans also lie about it? There is also nothing in the article that purports that all the democrats who lie about voting are doing so to bigots im beginning to think you still haven’t read it. It would in fact be ridiculous to believe something that total and conclusive across the 27% of gen z democrats who admit to lying about it.

from the article

Voters across the political spectrum said they’ve lied about their voting: 27% of Democrats acknowledged it, while 24% of Republicans and 20% of independents did so. The survey didn’t ask exactly how, why or to whom they’d lied

very curious how you claim all of the democrats only lie to bigots considering no one measured that.

Be careful, that take gets you yelled at by idiots around here.

And why do you think only Trump supporters are tired of your rhetoric? If you read the article you’d see the largest group among these kids are Democrats, theres also a huge number of independents. Do you think only republicans are tired of patronizing political zealots? Because if so I’d read the article again. Keep digging, but people like you are the reason these kids just lie and keep their day moving instead of engaging. You’re creating the silence you told me you blame for the deterioration of the system.

Can’t say I support going as far bans or punitive action for revealing your side, but I absolutly agree that people use it to speed by all your arguments, concerns, comments, and just berate you until you do exactly what they do. I could get behind punishing people who bully or harass someone into disclosing their side thoguh, because thats textbook harassment (some Americans just call that ‘voter outreach’ thoguh)

Did you know you can talk about things without demanding you know who someone is voting for, or is that new information to you?

And they wonder why it’s devolved into tribalism while shaming everyone who doesn’t cheer for their team loud enough. The hypocrisy is deafening.

Why? Has it not dawned on you that near half of the people lying about their votes are voting for Kamala, should they be ashamed too? Or do you only think Trump voters are lying?

Not every person who tunes you out is going to be a bigot. If you want to imagine that the only people who are upset with rhetoric like yours are bigots, don’t be surprised when only bigots engage you. You’re complaining about problems you yourself are furthering, plus tell me do you think alienating voters helps or hurts your candidate, because that’s what your rhetoric does. Don’t think your actions can’t influence people to stay home, you’re great at fostering apathy through alienation. Hope your okay with that too.

They’re not ashamed, they just don’t want to deal with people like you. How do you intend on reaching people who feel the need to lie to you? How does fostering a climate where lying is necessary to protect their peace effect the already horrible political climate? Or are you also okay with your actions costing your candidate votes and worsening the political climate too?

Im pretty sure comments like that is exactly why these kids are lying about their votes, pardon me for reading the article.

And why is it necessary to disclose who you’re voting for to do any of that? In fact I’d argue not disclosing who you vote for makes these conversations easier because you cant just instantly jump onto us vs them mentality and tune someone out before listening.

In the future scientists will have versions of doom that run on trees and have mycological network multiplayer options.

Compared to the enlightened discussions we have as things are? Social media made talking about politics more ubiquitous than ever and it only made things worse. Also this may surprise you but you can talk politics without disclosing who you vote for.

Good. I long for the day ‘who are you voting for’ is normally met with ‘shut the fuck up’

You cant vote out a capitalist, even when they go full fascist. Through the divine right of the dollar he alone is dictator of everyonw he pays and he still owns the entirety of the profit. What the plan to stop these guys from making every US election have at least one fascist candidate in it?

Oh neat, now I know Penis Worms have purple blood. And that Penis Worms exist.
