    These scare tactics are no better than dictatorial behaviours.

    Ah, yes, the REAL fascism is when you tell people voting for fascism is bad. Great.

      I accept to believe that you skipped the entire comment to only react to the last sentence, and I will not partake in discussing with you. Good day.

        I will not partake in discussing with you. Good day.

        Always comes off as pathetic ‘last-wording’ when someone takes the time to reply “I’m not going to talk to you.” when you could have just stopped talking to them.

          Maybe because I took the time to write a lenghty comment contributing to the discussion, which they purposefully decided to ignore with a snarky remark? I am open to debating on the subject, but not with an intellectually dishonest or dismissive attitude.

          Welcome to politcal memes! These are our rules: Be civil

          Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.

            Truly amazing you completely missed the very simple point I was making.

            I’m sorry- did my comment ‘disturb’ you- lol. You need thicker skin but feel free to report me.

              Please enlighten me on said point ? I’m trying to contribute to the discussion. Why would I interact with not only their, but now your dismissive comments on such a complex topic ?

          And blocked them. I mean, these kinds of threads are a sort of gold mine. (In general, I mean, not in this specific instance)

        No, I read everything except the links. It’s the normal “Democracy isn’t real because democracy involves strategic decisions on the part of voters” spiel from people who don’t take their civic duty seriously, and instead think of voting as a kind of virtue masturbation for their own gratification instead of being involved in making political choices of the polity, which necessarily involves compromise and deeply imperfect choices.
