What is the purpose of criticizing them online to each other?
What is the purpose of demanding to people online that they don't criticize The Party?
To try and get everyone pulling the same direction so we don't lose again, and to get people to understand that FPTP is not about voting FOR a good candidate. It's about voting AGAINST the bad.
You really are a champion at missing the point
Why thank you! It's good to be recognized as successful in my field.
Well at least you're honest about being a troll
Nah, it's just that when a conversation devolves into personal insults I know that I'm correct and the other person has given up.
Funny, I know I'm correct and the other person has given up when they start deliberately playing dumb and pretending to miss the point
It's ok to not understand. But if you get a free moment, go back and re read the thread. I'll summarize.
FPTP means you vote AGAINST who you hate more, not FOR a candidate. Failing to vote is a vote for the worst candidate. Nit picking problems of politicians who are mostly good is counter productive, especially when we have literal Satan and his hoard of demons running the country. Focus where you spend your time. Focus on fixing the worst parts.
Ok. Thanks for that non-sequitor. Maybe you should read back so you can remind yourself that the conversation was about you demanding nobody Criticize The Party, not about voting. But you're to busy being a smug loser to do that.
Deeply unserious person.
So you focus on antagonizing leftists online.
And why would people go out and vote if we've spent our time highlighting how our candidate options suck?
Why would people go out and vote when they see that you're a bunch of DNC fanatical zealots who won't even entertain criticism and demand unquestioning loyalty?
Because they aren't idiots and understand FPTP and harm reduction.
Then why do they need to be prevented from seeing any criticism of the party?
