      Unfortunately if you don’t choose 1 then you will likely end up with even more.

      The issue is that trying not to play, just plays into the hands of the extremists.

      I watched something similar play out with Brexit. It was less a shit sandwich and more a firehouse of diarrhea shoved down our collective throat. It’s been less than pleasant. The people who were disinterested and didn’t vote made a huge difference. They didn’t want a shit sandwich, so got the fire hose with the rest of us.

        I never once suggested not playing. I’m not sure why everyone seems to think that.

        Literally all I said is they’re both shitty options but one is clearly more shitty.

          The “both sides are the same” is a concern troll phrase. It’s almost always used by people whose views align extremely well with the republican party. It’s generally used as “both are the same, so why bother voting” though wrapped in more words.

          Basically your sounding off with a right wing dog whistle, and people are reacting to it.

            If that’s people’s take then I suggest reading comprehension classes. I’m done being polite to idiots. The republican party can remove itself from the planet in whatever way it sees fit, I’m not picky. And if people can’t grasp that I’m saying the republican party is vastly shittier, then we’ll I guess I’m done trying to explain.

            Be mad, I guess.

              Just remember communication is a 2 way street. Others don’t have the context you do. Also, not everyone was raised in the same culture as you, or even using the same language.

              If one person appears to be an idiot, then it could happily be true. If everyone seems to be an idiot, it’s worth a proverbial look in the mirror, the issue might be your side of things.

    • So the plan is to sit and pout and get forced fed an extra big heaping spoonful through inaction?

      I don’t kink shame but maybe don’t blend your coprophagia with your politics.
