But if you say you're voting for who you actually believe in, and it's not one of the two, you're also "throwing your vote away" according to many. Anytime I see this all I see is blackmail. "Vote my way or bad things will happen".
It's not a choice, it's coercion. One side actively threatens it and the other side passively threatens it. It's all just threats if you don't fall in line.
Math is coercion, I guess.
Humour and logic, keep your comments coming! Lately it felt like Lemmy was overrun by people arguing in bad faith.
their comment is bad faith: it intentionally misrepresents their interlocutor to score cheap rhetorical points.
Lemmy was setup by tankies. It's like shooting fish in a barrel if you're looking for morons to argue with on the internet. Kinda fun to dunk on them. Kinda lame to see them whine incessantly.
