    Hey, listen, who you vote for is your call and I’m not here to judge. Its just an election, I don’t see why you need to make a federal case out of it.

    It’s clear, even in your own post, that you know we are talking about voters.

    It seems like we’re just going to roll the dice on the election and hope for the best, because doing anything else would be unfair to the fascists.

    Well, certainly becoming a anti democratic authoritarian seems like a terrible idea to avoid an anti democratic authoritarian. I’m hoping the electorate wakes up and, if it doesn’t, the institutions designed to protect us against authoritarianism hold up. I certainly will never get behind jailing people for the crime of voting a way I don’t like.

      Don’t lift a finger against the lynch mob or you will be no better than the lynch mob.

      Maybe they just won’t lynch me. Maybe it’ll be fine.

      the institutions designed to protect us against authoritarianism hold up

      Those institutions will be run by the anti-democratic authoritarians you just said you didn’t like.

        I’m pretty sure I’m every post you’ve lied about my position in order to make yours. It’s gotta tell you something at this point.
