    Yes, that’s correct (although some of those elections I did not have the opportunity to vote in). Because, as I’ve said, I don’t subscribe to lesser evilist ideology. Repeating the same thing over and over means nothing to me. Don’t you think I’ve heard it all before?

    Your actions, and the actions of people like you, are how we got into this mess in the first place. You never hold your party accountable and instead just punch left. Politicians are supposed to adapt to the will of their constituents, not the other way around. But every time one of you repeats that awful “vote blue no matter who” slogan or endorses the ideology of lesser-evilism, you’re openly telling the democrats that they can select whoever they want and do whatever they want and you’ll still keep giving them what they want in exchange for nothing.

    In any case, it doesn’t really matter. I don’t support genocide so I’m not going to vote for someone who supports genocide. Surely at this point you can recognize that my position is set in stone and you’re wasting your time trying to convince me. You want me to vote democrat, you’ll have to convince the democrats to do more of what I want. The democrats see this (as always) as just a PR problem, but the fact is that I can’t be reasoned with or sweet talked, and you will never find the right set of words to get me to do what you want. It’s a matter of the right people doing the right set of actions. I have a price, and that price is, at absolute minimum “stop doing genocide.”

    If they can win without me and people like me, then I invite them to try. Otherwise, they’re going to have to be the ones to flinch first, because I am a rock.

      We’re hoping at some point you learn to care.

      Your actions put us here. When the better candidate loses, the worse candidate wins, and then things get worse. Often followed by better candidates trying to attract the worse voters, since they fucking showed up. Those assholes are their constituents. You are not. You didn’t vote. You literally do not count.

      I am a rock.

      Great comfort to all of us if The Idiot takes power and Netanyahu continues leveling Gaza. Good fucking job, well done, hope you and I get some of the roomier cages.

      Goodbye.
