That’s simply an assumption on your part. No evidence exists to back up this claim.
I never claimed abstaining changed anything other than my participation in an immoral system. Once again, you are making an assumption based on your prejudice and not fact.
You are only counting United States House of Representatives. In the United States Senate, 72% of democrats voted FOR the invasion. Before telling me I need more education, make sure yours is a good one.
No more than yours, Sir.
You can say it all you want but all you are doing is making assertions with nothing to back up your claims. You are guessing at what might have happened. I say voting ushers in more politicians that take gerrymandering and voter suppression to another level and make third party penetration near impossible down the road.
You’ve ‘proven’ your point with assumptions. You cannot pretend to know what would have happened had people voted in greater numbers. They very well may have voted for the Republicans.
You are simply a partisan who thinks if everyone voted along your lines then everything would be wonderful. That’s just childish and represents the kind of thinking that we can’t take seriously after seeing the results of the system in action.
How do you reconcile the fact that your voting is violent and promotes harm? Your passive sense of participation is an illusion. I understand why you would work very hard to prove voting is a good thing. After all, you seem to have invested much of yourself in to the process. Some of us see the world a bit more clearly and realize that your mindset it exactly what is wrong. You think you know what is correct politically and are comfortable doing harm to others by proxy. Voting is an act of violence but I don’t think you will ever understand that as it seems you are too invested in the process.
