    You are not engaging in good faith right now. I am not voting for Donald Trump.

    There are two outcomes of this election. Trump, or Biden. If you sit with your thumb up your ass as an infant drowns in an ankle-deep pool in front of you, you are not ‘innocent’ because you ‘did nothing’, you’re guilty because of your inaction, or your pointless action, if you prefer.

    They didn’t vote for impeachment because we gave them time to see where the political winds were headed. Months and months of a needless investigation that allowed the right-wing spin machine to turn someone like Lindsey Graham into somebody who was furious into an ally.

    Do…

    Do you not remember when the impeachment vote was held?

    Please, tell me when the impeachment vote was held. In your own words.

      Explain to me exactly how my vote in a Ruby Red State of Not Trump is somehow going to hurt Biden’s electoral odds. Come on, tell me.

      Do you even understand how the Electoral College works?

      This is becoming an increasingly unproductive conversation, your utterly delusional and arguing in bad faith. Enjoy your loss. Come November. You’ve earned it. Honestly, I’m just gonna block you at this point.

        The popular vote is an important part of the legitimization of the results of the electoral college, and things are already going to be pretty fucking dicey on that front. So every vote DOES matter, especially when regarding the political winds that will change according to how resoundingly (or narrowly) the fascist was rejected.

        That being said, I do regard a protest vote in a ‘safe’ state as much less vile than one in a swing state due to our system.

        Now, answer my question:

        Congrats. My favorite part is where you said the impeachment vote happened “months” later and that we TOTALLY could have gotten LOTS of Republicans to vote for impeachment if the vote had only happened, say, in the month of January. Maybe early, like January 13th or something, when Jan 6 was still on everyone’s mind.
