    Maybe electing people to have power over you isn’t really democracy? Like ever? Maybe democracy means you don’t need other people making decisions, but to work them the fuck out among yourselves?

    Or maybe that’s the exact opposite of democracy, and by not voting blue no matter who I’m the worst kind of fascist. Who can say?

      I think there are historians and such who have dedicated their lives to studying this shit that can say.

      And they say you’re wrong.

          Ah it looks like you’ve failed the “make an argument and attempt to defend it without strawmanning” challenge.

          Sorry, better luck next time.

              Please tell me this comment was sarcastic.

              If not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

              Reading your comment again, I’m struggling to figure out what you were even trying to mean.

              Straw men are a real thing that exists in the world. Sometimes, that’s what you’re dealing with.

              Yes, that’s what I’m dealing with, with the post I replied to. That’s not a good thing, it means you don’t have a real argument.

                I’m saying press ting your position as anything else would be dishonest. Some shit’s just made of straw for real-real.
