          Make your protest vote, or protest skip, or whatever. You’ll feel superior and no one else will notice.

            I’m not the one with the protest vote. It’s you guys that are voting against something. A vote cast against something is a vote of protest

            And I suppose your solution is keep electing the same people that got us into the problems that we have? Liberals love to try to silence dissent, infantilize anyone that disagrees with them, there’s a reason there’s a saying that starts off ‘scratch a liberal’

              It’s interesting how you only respond to people when you can reasonably respond rhetorically/flippantly. You ignore anyone who wants a direct answer.

                The only way to respond to people that continue to do the same thing over and over and over expecting different results need to be answered flippantly. Experience from long long ago tells me they’re not looking for solutions, they are looking for confirmation bias

                  I asked for a solution or an alternative to the 4 that exist. You have 4 options in November, none of which you will endorse despite the fact that 1 of them has to be done. So I’ll just assume you’re saying “don’t vote” unless you say otherwise I guess?

                  I find that the only way to deal with people who lecture us with no alternative is to press for solutions. It’s easy to complain and tear down, it’s hard to build, and people like you are never willing to do the work. Some of us actually do things year round and don’t disappear for 3.5 years then show up just in time to complain about the general despite doing absolutely nothing to try and improve things in this country or otherwise bring about a different result.

                  Keep bashing away at the keyboard getting angry with people who probably mostly align with your views. it’ll make the world better any day now.
