    Yea, I’m in agreement. Nowhere have I ever said ‘don’t vote’. I’ve repeatedly and very loudly said ‘voting is not half as important as agitation’

    Liberals will constantly parade around polls showing progressive and leftist policies as being ‘not popular’, and then cry bloody murder when leftists try agitating for them. They’ll accuse us of ‘both sides’-ing when we point out democrats doing the same shit as republicans, they’ll accuse us of being controlled opposition when we protest against democrats supporting fascism abroad, they’ll even accuse us of supporting fascism ourselves for holding democrats to the same standard as we hold republicans.

    No, it wasn’t a ‘gotcha’, it was ‘yahtzee’, as in, ‘the numbers have aligned and we’re somehow in agreement’.

      Ahh. My miskate, apologies for misunderstanding you!

      Edit: and extra apologies for my confrontational tone at your, in retrospect, very benign comment.

      Have a great day!
