This is silly in our current voting system. Not voting in this election is equivalent to voting for Trump.

People on the right (e.g. evangelicals) often see voting as their responsibility and will vote for whomever they see as the lesser of two evils. Those of us on the left get too bourgeois about our candidates. Our failure to vote keeps moving the window right!

I'm not dying on this hill. I encourage you to vote and help us gain a little distance from the failed state, however small.

Democracy is always one vote away from death. Sometimes there are just a lot more folks voting for a dangerous candidate.

Don't forget Trump's threats. If you don't vote now, you may not get another chance for a while.

Could say the same thing for Vance's brain

I haven't seen a single soul on here support genocide. I do see a lot of people encouraging you to not take the easy way out.

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face.

I'm not really sure how to reach voters that aren't naturally disgusted by Trump. E.g. how do you dissuade someone from shooting themselves in the foot when the prospect alone is insufficient?

Agreed. This article is complaining that Harris didn't shoot everyone in the collective foot.

This is sealioning

Genocide isn't on the ballet

His brain cells don't talk to each other much do they?

Very welcome! Thanks for promoting the info. I'm sure a lot of people have the same question but haven't asked.

Here's an excellent article explaining how this would affect underrepresented groups more than others: https://www.npr.org/2024/06/11/nx-s1-4991903/voter-registration-proof-of-citizenship-requirement.

I don't miss XML, but at least it has support for comments. On the other hand, I wish whitespace in XML wasn't significant. JSON needs to die in favor of JSON 5.

Are you suggesting that poll numbers changed because some voters see Trump as more progressive than Harris?

Pragmatic isn't a point on the left-right spectrum.

I still think the core problem lies with advertising on social media, especially contextual/targeted advertising. What if we prohibited for-profit social media companies?

Nailed it.
