??? what does this have to do with not voting in a system that doesn't exist?


Trump is an ineffective leader and a release valve. He maintains the status quo in all the right areas while not changing anything meaningful. He let his biggest supporters catch felonies and didn't pardon them. I do not believe in him and I will not vote for him. I wouldn't vote for him even if I believed it would be counted.

Edit: And if your reply to this is "omfg he COULDN'T", (1) yes he could, (2) he didn't even try.

You did say you would vote for him if he were in prison (you may have said "might vote for him"), because it would be funny if he won from prison.

Sure, it won't be as funny if he wins now. But it will still be pretty funny.

Swimming out in a bit to take a piss in my deep blue ocean. Because fuck them, that's why. Catharsis is underrated.

Null is stubborn. He's never going to change his opinion on Trump because of the Section 230 thing. Just like I'm never going to change my opinion on Net Neutrality after reddit screaming how important it is. I refuse to believe that something that reddit wholeheartedly backed is good, I don't care if Null screams it's a good thing, I refuse to listen.

"Moon, what moon?" I say to myself, not understanding context clues and putting together the Legend of Zelda references that have been made in the thread for the past fourteen hours. I check the top of the website.

The fucking laugh I just let out was so mirthful, you guys.

And that's the 3DS remake Moon, who looks like it wants to smash everything in its path.

The original one was in perma-rage mode for being awakened abruptly or some shit. It makes all the difference too.

Even if his reason for not voting at all is extreme, I think him not voting for Trump specifically, with this in mind, makes sense, because Trump threatened Section 230 directly and brought it to the attention of others who would follow through with dismantling Section 230. Trump at the end of the day is an old man who isn't educated enough about the Internet to be able to effectively protect free speech on it.

Trump didn't so much "threaten 230" as he suggested it be refined because while a platform shouldn't be held accountable for the actions of its users, so-called "platforms" that suppress speech, attempt to regulate speech and otherwise act as editors should not have the same protections as legitimate platforms, particularly in the area of defamation law. "Free speech" has never included defamation, nor has it included actionable threats, nor should "speech" across a digital medium.

The problems this website in particular has experienced is due to abuse of legal process as well as literal fascism - the blending of corporate and government power [by degenerate freak leftist interests], not because Trump hurts feels. This website hasn't been threatened because of the "religious right" or a moralizing Jack Thompson-esqe figure.

dude the people freaking out that not voting = voting for kamala completely do not understand why i don't vote.

I do not believe the system exists. The electoral system of the United States is a collective hallucination. I do not believe that there a single direct correlation between the physical act of voting and the numbers that are tallied. Every single electronic vote is discarded without being written to memory, identical to how voting down a comment on YouTube triggers no network event and is just an illusion on your screen that makes you feel better. Every single paper ballot is burned.

I'm not exaggerating. It's not a joke. I do not believe that there is a single vote in the United States that is counted towards electing a candidate. Every single "My Vote Counted" sticker is a lie. There is no genuine connection between the ballot and the results of the election.

Instead, turnout is counted, and turnout represents approval of the status quo and the system. They do count these votes and do account for fraud when counting them. This is the vote that actually decides if policy meaningfully changes: the binary action of voting. In 2020, 66% of the US voted. This is 66% of the US population telling the Federal Government they support the continued existence of the Federal Government, and that they believe democracy works. I was a part of the third of the US that does not believe that. I do not believe in the US Federal Government and I believe the sooner it collapses, the better. So, I indicate this to the government by not voting.

The 3DS remake sucked to be honest. The moon looked more goofy than creepy, the extra brightness ruined some parts, save anytime you want mechanic defeated the point of the game, and the Zora swimming mechanics were a downgrade from the original.

Sometimes it seems so absurd to even argue against Kamala Harris for President of the United States. There's nothing at all recognizably American about Harris, her background or her vision of American society Her family were foreign far-left radicals on the fringes of our politics. She spent many of her formative years outside the country and the rest of it it the far-left environment of Berkeley and Oakland. She made her career in radical and dysfunctional San Francisco. She has no real accomplishments in life other than being a black(ish) woman who has consistently been promoted as an affirmative action hire, despite a complete lack of accomplishments. She's not stupid, but her intelligence is totally unexceptional. She never received a single vote. She was simply installed as the nominee by the oligarchy. The fact that she could actually be President of the United States-- you don't know whether to laugh or cry. It's only through the general collapse of society, our values, and our sense of ourselves as a country and a people that someone like Harris could rise to a position of authority. Anyway, be sure to vote today so that we don't embarrass ourselves for the next four years.
