why participate in such a fundamentally broken system at all then?
Because I have no choice. “The System” happens to me whether I like it or not; the laws happen to me whether I like it or not, and if I can have 99% Hitler vs 100% Hitler, I’ll take the lesser. My refusal to participate doesn’t change the fact that those are my two options, and one will be chosen.
I would rather have a voice than let someone else choose for me.
have at it. i refuse to dignify the actions of any genocidal maniac with an endorsement in the form of my vote. simple as.
Kudos to you for disagreeing without descending into name calling. A rare quality.
So you’re just incredibly naive or incredibly selfish to not care about the results of what you do as long as you can pretend to be principled about it.
I’ve been reading this exact argument for decades. It used to stop at Hitler and genocide because someone would shout “Godwin’s Law!”
And now here we are. Will it go up to 99.9% Hitler, or was 2016 our last chance to elect a leftist? Keep your passports or gun lockers ready.
