Thanks for the straw man and for tirelessly advocating that people don't vote. It definitely helps and is definitely not a Nazi thing to do, it's super LEFTIST.

Your straw man is a misread. The critique isn't "don't vote!" It's that voting in a rigged system isn't enough.

The "lesser evil" argument you defended is exactly what enables the cycle. Fascism grows when politics is reduced to choosing between harm and complicity. For what it's worth me pointing that out isn't pro-Nazi, it’s the basic leftist critique of a broken system. Real change requires power built outside it, not just a ballot every four years.

voting in a rigged system isn't enough.

If that was the message, no one would be flooding your inbox. But it wasn't. It was DEMOCRAT EVIL.

You're the only one "flooding" my inbox and you're free to stop anytime.

But let's be clear: you're not arguing against a point anymore, you're just policing packaging. If you reduce "the system is broken and voting isn't enough" to "DEMOCRAT EVIL," that's a failure of your own comprehension not the message or mine. When you’re ready to engage with the substance instead of your own caricature, you know where to find the thread.

Until then, enjoy the view from that very high horse.
