    Im going to say this one last time since you seems to be having trouble:

    It isn’t because it’s an opinion counter to my own. It’s because they’re wittingly or unwittingly going to cause a lot of damage to America and Americans over a single issue that’s so nuanced, they don’t understand how it even works or what it’s happening.

    This isn’t an opinion. This isn’t authoritarianism. It’s simply trying to protect democracy.

    Red Project 2025. Understand what will happen to our LGBTQ+ friends and family. Understand what will happen to our moms, our sisters…. Our daughters. Understand what will happen tou your protect rights.

    Democrat is at stake and this is no time to be fucking around with right-wing trolls, and bad faith posers pretending to be leftists.

    I’m not arguing this with you any further.

      Then I’ll say this one more time since you seem to be having trouble: that’s your opinion, and other people see what you’re doing as an existential threat to American democracy just as much as MAGA.

      That’s the point I’ve been trying to make this whole time. Your personal opinion on the only path to protect democracy happens to involve some steps that I think will also destroy democracy. And in the meantime I think we have very little time left to stand up against the anti-democratic practices of the Democratic party, and they’re continuing to inflame extremists in the opposition to give themselves cover.

      By the way, for someone who is constantly yelling about bad actors in a discussion of US politics, you’ve got some pretty suspicious grammar in this comment.

        Suggesting others Not vote is NOT democratic- and absolutely IS a threat to democracy. Period. Full stop.

        Spreading misinformation and propaganda in other to sway an election is NOT democratic and absolutely IS a threat to democrat. Period. FULL STOP

        I will not debate this further. Don’t like what I say- block me. But I will continue to call out the bad actors here that are trying to get Trump elected.

        I reserve error checking my grammar for people I actually respect. Having difficulty reading what I say? Don’t read it, but insinuating that my grammar is an indication of anything suspicious is fucking stupid.

          Suggesting that others not vote isn’t undemocratic. People are allowed to not vote in a democracy. The opposite that seems to be suggested here would be forcing them to vote, which is not democratic.

            CHOOSING to not vote is a freedom. It’s not democratic. And suggesting that others not vote undermines democracy.
