    This is what grinds my gears about getting into discussions with people who take your position. I do not have to make apologies for the undemocratic first-past-the-post system, or the undemocratic electoral college. Had more people voted, the fix would not have worked. Rigged elections can be overwhelmed, especially when they are being attacked from the outside.

    I am thinking about what I’ll do when I can’t vote anymore. And it does not involve common cause with people who do not understand basic strategy.

          That’s 71.4% of the country you’re writing off. You’re setting yourself up to lose.

          A lot of the people in the streets are people who don’t vote and you have to recon with that. Voting is merely one tactic among many, there are lots of ways to be involved in politics. The fact that someone disagrees with you about a single tactic doesn’t mean they’re irrelevant, it just means you have to find common ground in other ways.

          Or we’re all going to die.

            We’re all going to die. We were already all going to die. We signed our own death warrant when we knowingly allowed omnicidal fascists to take control of the most efficient death machine mankind has ever devised.
