“Responsibility “ is code for being compelled to participate

What if you are a candidate yourself? Driving people to the polls? What is this madness you’re perpetuating where the only way to be active in a democracy is to vote in every single election?

Also how do you define “most qualified”? Dick Cheney had decades of public sector experience when he ran as VP in 2000, but he’s also a scumbag. I should have voted Bush/Cheney in 2000 because Cheney had more experience than everyone on the ballot combined?

Writing in your own name is exercising your right to vote, but also will not change the outcome

The OP I responded to is not advocating for voting. They are saying people were obligated to vote for Harris or otherwise they support Trump. That’s a fallacy and anti-democratic

So we’re in a “free” country where you’re compelled to vote for someone, even if you don’t actually support anyone on the ballot. And if someone terrible wins, the people who decline to participate are responsible? How is that freedom?

Saying voting matters and saying you actually support the winner when you don’t vote at all are not the same thing

This fallacy that not voting at all is the same thing as voting FOR the winner is absurd

I don’t watch hockey. Am I automatically a fan of whoever wins the Stanley Cup because I wasn’t rooting against them? LOL, what?

Here’s one for Tom. Mexican gangs import guns from the US to terrorize Mexicans. Is it okay for Mexico to send drones in to destroy gun stores in Texas and kill the “gun dealers?"

Sam Altman has no idea how to run a profitable business. Somehow Finance media is being willfully blind about this and not asking him any tough questions about revenue projections

Progressive taxation is a redistributive policy, by its nature. I don’t think he fully understands the words he’s using.

And the only version that makes sense. Who exactly is Elvis singing to? LOL

Big Mama Thornton was only paid like $600 for Hounddog and she’s the original singer. Her version is the only one worth acknowledging
