    You vote, someone votes against you, there’s 2 votes and theyre tied. You don’t vote, someone still votes against you, that’s one vote against you

    You understand this isn’t a real world scenario though, right? In the actual system America uses you vote and it doesn’t matter because someone else’s vote counted 3 times more than yours.

      So you don’t vote and theirs counts even more? I’m not saying the odds aren’t stacked against you here, but your predecessors probably weren’t singing a defeatist tone due to this when it was their turn. The electoral college absolutely must burn. Letting the people benefitting from it run the country probably won’t help with that, though.

        We’re not singing a defeated tone jackass, we aren’t on your side. Defeatism would be folding to the blue fascists

        “Defeatism is when you try to change things and insist that actually a better world is possible and we don’t have to unconditionally support fascist genociders” <- You.

        The hubris you have should be studied. I cannot fathom saying so much while knowing so little. To you, 10 seconds with a speak-and-spell would be an intellectual quantum leap.
