That is certainly an argument - that limbos around stuff you didn't mention and avoids talking about relative weight quite a bit for someone asserting the importance of embracing binary dilemmas! ...

... but the main thing it dodge is that there *definitely were* Democratic officials responsible for maximising the Democratt vote.

But there's no evidence that there were Democrat voters - in any meaningful numbers - who made the choice you laid out.

And yet they're all here on Bluesky, even proud of their moral turpitude

You referenced no such people and they don't exist in the thread you responded to. Maybe you should spend less time on social media?

But you aren't calling anyone out. Like, literally you haven't given a single name. You're only reference so far is "there are some people on bsky" (but not in this thread or the one you referred to).

?????? What does that have to do with naming individuals? Did the two of you support and vote for Kamala Harris?

The significant drop in US turnout was - as logic would predict - among people mostly intermediate between the two parties (not to the 'left' of the Democrats) and focussed on inflation/cost of living.

I am not blaming them for the election loss? I think all of I/P was pretty irrelevant in the long run. They still made a terrible choice and should get scorn about it until they fix their rotten hearts

77,302,580 voted for Donald Trump in 2024. Why are you obsessing about a number of people - an unknown number because the one thing we know is that it's too small for political scientists to detect who didn't for Harris, given that every serious analyst focuses on other groups?

I am not obsessing over them? Obviously the active Trump voters are worse? I'm just not letting them off the hook either

Do you think this is a rational choice which maximises death reduction?
