    No I’m just saying people who think protest voting or throwing your vote away is ever smart, this is proof it isn’t.

    This really entirely could’ve been avoided and this was one of the steps in a stairwell of bullshit that could’ve stopped it all

      The fundamental idea of democracy is that you have your say. Even if the outcome isn’t your’s, your vote showed how much people wanted the other things, this influencing the group that got it.

      Your thinking anti-democratically. You are chastising individual voices in the system for not doing what you wanted for your outcome. That’s literally how authoritarianism starts. Check yourself.

        Lol no it absolutely isn’t.

        The fundamental aspect of democracy isn’t just that you get a say, it’s that I get to say your say is stupid especially if I can show reasons why it’s dumb

        Voting against your own interest, choosing not to represent yourself and opting to “punish” your representatives by not voting for them isn’t smart and there is proof in the pudding.

        Check yourself, running around like you’re the democracy police. Please
