No, if you vote for Democrats, and they win, you are saying you voted for Democrats, this is simpler than you are making it.
Not voting (when eligible and able) just means you are apathetic to the outcome.
Saying ‘democrats bad’ isn’t some gotcha response to this concept. Voting for someone who goes against their constituent, is a bad person, or otherwise isn’t what you expected is not the same thing as not voting at all, nor is voting for someone with a slim chance of winning or voting for someone that the general population disagrees with. All of those are actions taken to have some stake in the process and they are conscious decisions to support a specific person or group.
When you don’t vote, you implicitly support the winner, because by definition, you chose not to support anyone else, that’s just how the concept of voluntary voting works, it has nothing to do with the politics at play.
I wasn’t saying you personally didn’t vote, I was speaking colloquially, using ‘you’ to refer to the subject of the discussion (a person who didn’t vote).
that said: there is no voting. there was an election last year, and, fairly or unfairly: you fuckers stuck the landing, snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. past tense. done. MOVING THE FUCK ON
I don’t know if there’s going to be another election, or, if there is, whether it’s going to be real or fake. I think counting on that is foolish. I think obsessing over electoral shit instead of the actual mechanics of community and machinery of power is why we’re all in this mess.
so please touch fucking grass, talk to your neighbors, and do something that will literally ever matter.

So you just didn’t read my comment where I addressed the fact that I am not claiming you didn’t vote, and instead you want to sling shit?
I get the feeling that you don’t want to have a conversation, you just want to yell. I get it, but I won’t participate any longer.
