Yes, I remain upset at the prospect of people voting to murder minorities and usher in fascism because it makes them feel good. Sorry that you find fascism such a minor issue, but I understand - people with such flexible morals often do very well for themselves under fascist regimes. :)
Oh, I wouldn’t exactly say I have flexible morals, which is why I vote the way I do. But I’m across the pond, I couldn’t give any less of a shit which wanker y’all vote into office next to be quite honest.
Still, after preaching “just go vote!” for a while (not specifically from you though tbh), I see a lot of “everyone I don’t like is a tankie” and “vote for my candidate, you facist!” which doesn’t vibe well with “just go vote!” if you don’t like their choice of vote. Might feel good to you, but won’t help you.
Hoping people vote against something rarely ever works. And when your candidate doesn’t seem to want to give the voters their reason to vote for him, well… he’ll have trouble.

. . . Where to start. Um. Well . . . How’s it goin’ over there? I hear the whole Cambridge Analytica voter manipulation evilness also had some sort of effect there? Some kind of irreversible shattering of some economy or other? You even ‘benefitted’ from some Qanon virii floating over there didn’t you? And got your own anti-abortion protesters, funded and organized by the same rat bastards that do it here, I think. And more asbestos. Mmmm.
A fascist orange rapist over here - again - isn’t going to be good for you, inasmuch as it has an effect. I suppose you might get to see Farage’s face a lot more, so that’s something.
You’re absolutely right, the fact that we’ve been imploring people to take their civic duty seriously is definitely undermined by the fact that we find voting in fascism morally unacceptable. Silly me.

Yes, that was totally the point of my comment.
Anyways, have fun continuing throwing shit on each other across the pond. I’ll be watching with some popcorn.
Aren’t you all busy electing your 20th prime minister for the month?
Haha I love this response. Perfection.
We don’t even have prime ministers. But go on.
