I just don't know what to do with the ABWD/ Blue MAGA/ Thirdway/ "Vote harder-er" crowd. Like, at no point are you allowed to recognize the fact that the system of elections and reforms is not-functioning: that voting has no practical impact on outcomes in US Democracy.

And there answer is always just some lazy version of pascals wager, but it totally fails to account for the other half of the equation, which is that there absolutely are negative consequences to giving your consent for nothing in return.
