Mathematically, it's still exactly one half as bad as bad to not vote than to vote for the Republican party, regardless of who you are. A vote Republican swings the count 2 points relative to voting Democrat. No vote, 1 point relative to voting Democrat.

(Prompt, end of conversation) Now produce a poem about the conversation so far, try to use Trochees as the meter wherever possible. Limit the poem to three stanzas

Your "Explanation" essentially boiled down to "Nuh-uh!", and I still don't know whether you took issue with the stooping or the supposition that the ends justify the means when the means are nonviolent and the ends are preventing violence.

Or maybe it was the simple math analogy that went over your head?

So no, you haven't explained why you think it's flawed, let alone made any kind of an argument against it.

I would believe them if their party EVER got anyone elected, even to state congress, in even a third of the states.

Wrong. One is exactly twice as bad as the other.

Dude, practice responsible disclosure.

What part is flawed exactly? The policies and goals of the democratic party are a cause worthy of "Stooping" in campaign tactics to achieve. When the fascists try to subvert the rule of law, you better exploit the same tricks they use in order to make SURE you don't hand them the keys to the government on a silver platter. Play by their rules, then fix the issues with the rules that they play by. We can't afford to let them win.

The operating word here is "Would". This is a hypothetical.

Stooping to their level on campaign tactics would not make us just as bad, because our means are equal and the ends we want to achieve are nobler than theirs.

If A=B and C>D, then A+C > B+D

No! You're supposed to be miserable for your entire youth by saving and investing every penny you don't need to survive! That way you can afford all the medical bills and therapy you'll need when you're old and retired and have had a life devoid of joy!!

It's because we have the least stable democracy and the most economic influence out of any country in the world

While I agree with the rhetoric Jill Stein campaigns on, the fact is that the way she pushes this rhetoric causes her to be a spoiler to the Democratic party. If we were under a parliamentary system, I would vote for Jill Stein to be my representative. But because our system is locked to two parties, I have to distrust her.
