Yeah that's because they legitimately are. Every single Republican president in the last 50 years has been an absolute disaster for this country and the entire world. Many of the Democrats have as well, but all of the Republicans have.
Show me the part where I said or implied that electoralism is the only option. Look at this meme:
That's the meme that this discussion is about. This whole discussion is about who to vote for. Arguing about who we should vote for is not an argument against doing anything but voting. I never said electoralism is the only option.
Can you at least understand what I mean when I say that this rhetoric does convince people not to vote, whether you want it to or not? Saying [activity] doesn't matter is effectively, whether you want it to be or not, an argument against doing [activity], and it does convince people not to do it. It's a large part of why, like I've said multiple times in this thread, there are presently women in prison for having miscarriages.
Again, like I've said multiple times in this thread, Americans need to spend the 1,460 days between elections organizing, campaigning, rioting, burning down buildings, etc. But on the first Tuesday of november, they need to go to their local polling location and vote for the person who isn't going to enact sodomy laws in this country. Because if they don't, the person who wants to enact sodomy laws in this country will win, enact sodomy laws in this country, and people who engage in sodomy will have their lives ruined and it'll be because people like you told Americans that it doesn't matter if they vote.
Again, like I've said multiple times in this thread and in this very comment, there are presently women in prison for having miscarriages because not enough people voted in 2016. If more people voted in 2016, these women would not be in prison for having miscarriages. ELECTORALISM DOESN'T SOLVE EVERYTHING, BUT IT COULD HAVE SOLVED THIS THING IF MORE PEOPLE VOTED.
