Voting for controlled opposition is the opposite of being tactical.

    I see. So what do you recommend I do with my ballot?

    Shove it up my ass?

    If you like.

    Depending on the race, if there is someone who isn't controlled opposition or a genocidal warmonger, then voting for them could be worthwhile.

    Otherwise, literally all I'm asking you is to have some standards somewhere and to do something to actually hold politicians accountable to those standards. And if you can agree to that, then obviously no standard could possibly be more reasonable than, "No mass killing of hundreds of thousands of civilians" and no form of accountability could possibly be more reasonable than, "You don't get my vote."

    No shit? What about when there is not? The situation I was obviously talking about?

    Did you not read my comment?

    Your comment doesn’t answer the question.

    What do I do with my ballot?

    You told me voting for a controlled opposition candidate was not tactical voting.

    Were there exceptions?

    Might want to work on your reading comprehension.

    no form of accountability could possibly be more reasonable than, “You don’t get my vote.”

    Ok. So shove it up my ass and let the fascists do the fascist speed run. Got it.

    Guess we’re done here. Cool of you to downvote my posts. Sorry for falling for it with an ml troll again.

    I only started downvoting your posts when you started acting like a dick and pretending I didn't answer things I very clearly did.

    So shove it up my ass and let the fascists do the fascist speed run.

    Voting for fascists, including moderate fascists, is how you enable a fascist speed run.
