Nope, you cannot blame someone for something they didn't do
I live in California, if I don't vote it doesn't support Trump at all, the electoral votes go onto the Democrats if I vote for them, vote for Trump, or write in SpongeBob, it doesn't fucking matter
If you live in a swing state then your point stands better, but I'm so fucking sick of this authoritarian "idgaf where you are if you didn't vote exactly how I want you to then I'll be a real pissy bitch about it" shit because I don't like to vote in line with authoritarians
There was no retribution in the meme. Only that the person would be remembered for their lack of action.
What would you think of me if I saw your house catch fire and instead of calling the fire department, I watched your pets burn to death?
Cute that you want to pretend that "well remember this false thing about you" isn't an implicit threat
Not a very good hypothetical as you can actually do something there
Its cute how hard youll grasp for a reason to justify the authoritarianism though. Gross, but cute
It's not false. Through inaction they allowed something bad to happen. You want to have it both ways.
As if you can't vote?
Even if you are in solid Blue State, an overwhelming majority against Trump will send a message to the next fascist attempt.
Again, only if they live somewhere their vote matters. Very simple idea you're having a shockingly hard time grasping.
If. Their. Vote. Matters.
Lol, no it doesn't. Nice attempt at a goalpost move, btw, but it won't work
If you are in a Blue State, it's only Blue because others voted.
Your attitude is, "Someone else will call the fire department. I'll stand here and watch the house burn."
Duh? That means the democrats don't need my vote to win here, because others are doing so
That means I can't possibly be responsible for their loss if I don't vote for them as they didn't need me. So that would mean if they lose this state then they've managed to lose the people who were already going to support them, yeah?
My attitude is "someone else has already called the fire department, were good"
I can freely vote however I want safe in the knowledge that the registered Democrats will do their blue no matter who shit and keep the state blue. If they don't, that's objectively not my fault, and would be absolutely wild to see CA do THIS of all elections
This all said to back up my original point that saying someone who doesn't vote for Harris is de facto a Trump supporter is stupid and likely untrue
But someone hasn't called the fire department. The election is in November. You are going to stand around watching the fire burn assuming your neighbors will call for you.
Sure, let's just pretend we don't have numbers and historic data on how the state will vote, that makes sense! You keep ignoring the whole "not in a swing state" thing because if you don't you know your points are shit
"Sure, let's just pretend we don't have numbers and historic data on how the state will vote"
Translation:
"My neighbors have always called the firefighters in the past so I'll do nothing but watch the fire burn."
Then why are you arguing about not needing to vote!
Blaming firefighters for not being able to stop a fire when you won't even call them. That's a new one. I bet you blame the kids Trump raped on Epstein's Island for not fighting back too.
Christ you can't even keep your own analogy straight, I told you it was bad from the start and you keep going
Because I dislike the authoritarian bullshit and bad arguments you've been giving, and I think watching you fail is funny
