Quite the opposite, actually. Not voting, or voting for people who have no possible chance to win, is simply giving up and allowing the chips to fall where they may. You are giving your vote to the person who wins


But at least I have the piece of mind that says "See this shite here? See how bad it is? It isn't because of me. I had nothing to do with it."

From a morality standpoint that is.

Can you believe those morons actually followed an account they agree with and bought tshirts with slogans they approve of! What a bunch of idiots!


No that's not really the issue. 2 things, either people were dumb enough to believe it was real or they knew it wasn't real and didn't care about the truth because it made them feel good.

So maga people were dumb enough to pay for porn (not t shirts )of not a real woman so they could feel good thinking about non-existent maga hot chicks.

If that isn't the cuckiest shite I've ever heard of...

I’m sorry, that’s ridiculous.

If I’m leading a group then how in the hell am I informing on what I’m deciding to do?

That’s like me calling the IRS and passing them a tip that I’m cheating on my taxes.

If one ignores mathematical reality, it could be viewed this way. But we all know there are candidates who cannot mathematically win. Giving those candidates your vote is simply forfeiting your vote to the victor. Maybe the victor would have been your second choice, maybe not. Either way, you stepped aside and gave that person your vote


I understand what you are saying. I however, refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils. An evil, while lesser, is still an evil and is why we are where we are today. At least my conscience is clear in that I actively attempted to take no part in it.

That's fine. Instead, you are voting for the greater of two evils.

You pretending that paying millions to a groups leadership doesn’t influence it to do what you desire?

No. There are just as many Republican voters in California now as there were when Reagan won the state. It is mathematically possible for Republicans to win in every single state.

Or, and stay with me here, people don't care that the account might be AI.

Guess what? I'm also not a fat kid. Anonymity on the internet is a common thing. Trying to turn people's acceptance of anonymity and fake personas on the internet into "stupidity" only shows your own mental failings.

That definitely is the one thing you gain. I agree with you there.

Nope. I am in fact voting my morals.

Look, I have only lived and voted in red states. Not like anyone, but the GOP candidates had any chance. We do not use the popular vote for Pres. So your arguement, in that case, is void.
For Congressional elections and local, where my vote actually counts, I usually have more leeway and a better choice.

If the doj had evidence of all of this influence, then why did they leave it out of the indictment? That's exactly the type of red meat that would push this story even further

Ehh...I'm sure Republicans in Alabama thought this when they didn't vote for Roy Moore, so Dud Jones ended up "representing them" in DC. That was a huge negative for our entire country.

There are very few states where Republicans or Democrats absolutely CANNOT win.

Congressional elections do mean more. The GOP does usually give me choices I like. Moreso than they do with the Pres.

I usually never say who I voted for, but I did in fact vote for Mia Love.

And there are millions more DEMs. Populations aren't stagnant.

Even in a worst case scenario, Kamala got over 58%

It's not possible for a Republican to win CA, and it was not possible in 2024.

So I ask again, all Trump voters in CA voted for Kamala?

But as far as the topic is concerned...the whole SPLC thing...

Will the Dems now actually admit that there were "good people on both sides"?

If they would have gone ahead with their whole "pact thing" everyone in CA would have voted for Trump in 2024...
