      The Republicans sure are trying to prevent it right now for November. Because they know it still works.

      If voting worked, they would do everything to discourage people from voting. Oh, wait…

        the genocide wing either doesn’t realize or doesn’t care that their actions do exactly this. And then they blame the voters they insisted they didn’t need when they lose to the other genocidal candidate they’re happy with.

          Not voting leads to extremist parties gaining ground, because extremists will always vote for their option. Which in turn leads to people suffering under their policies at best, and at worst to situations like Nazi Germany. Which makes the whole genocide argument look kinda performative.

            If you want people to vote for you, act like they’re people with agency and not just vending machines that dispense votes when you kick them hard enough.

            Or keep losing. You seem to like losing.

              You’re so busy accusing everyone who disagrees with your stance to be a “genocide worshipper”, that you don’t even realize that people have wide range of issues they vote on. For example the issue of not becoming a fascist dictatorship. You cannot fix the world if your own house is burning.

                Centrists have exactly one policy, that being genocide. They cave and capitulate on everything else.

                For example the issue of not becoming a fascist dictatorship.

                Centrists are perfectly fine with fascist dictatorship, as long as no one is permitted the chance to vote against their one policy.

                You cannot fix the world if your own house is burning.

                Centrists are completely uninterested in saving the world. It’s not genocide.
