I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

New "Leopards Ate My Face" dropped. In this fun twist, however, after seeing the Leopards Eating Faces party feed people's faces to leopards multiple times, the user continues to give the party the benefit of the doubt when confronted with the likelyhood that it's happening again.

    So no example, got it. It's fine for you to engage in fearmongering and unevidenced cynicism. I choose not to. My regards. Free Palestine.

    There's a big difference between being realistic and fearmongering. For instance, if there was no history of domestic and foreign entities utilizing astroturfing to undermine democracy and people were saying it's happening now, that's fearmongering. Considering that there is, however, and that it seemed to work last time, it's naive to assume that it wouldn't happen again, especially when similar patterns of behavior emerge, including the presence of a new hot-button topic that can be utilized. That's realism.

    Also, how incredibly low of you. By ending your negative response to me with "free Palestine," you're clearly trying to imply that I am somehow with my responses showing some implicit support for Israel's genocide. Again, how low of you.
