The fundamental idea of democracy is that you have your say. Even if the outcome isn’t your’s, your vote showed how much people wanted the other things, this influencing the group that got it.
Your thinking anti-democratically. You are chastising individual voices in the system for not doing what you wanted for your outcome. That’s literally how authoritarianism starts. Check yourself.
The fundamental aspect of democracy isn’t just that you get a say, it’s that I get to say your say is stupid especially if I can show reasons why it’s dumb
Voting against your own interest, choosing not to represent yourself and opting to “punish” your representatives by not voting for them isn’t smart and there is proof in the pudding.
Check yourself, running around like you’re the democracy police. Please
You are locked in a two party system, so you seem to have this idea that you have to choose blue to prevent red.
That notion of thought is literally anti-democratic. It is against the voice of the people. It stifles the people and presents two shit options instead of listening or having the people in power. Your voice is taken away and you are in support of that. You are literally trying to explain democracy to me throigh anti-democratic notions.
With such an understanding of democracy, I can only assume you have a US education.
The two party system is largely inevitable in America so you act accordingly.
It’s literally not anti democratic that’s a ridiculous statement. Not allowing people to vote or punishing them for it is anti democratic calling someone a moron for their voting behavior is not anti democratic that is some serious bubble wrap bullshit if you think that.
By definition, something in support of stifling peoples’ voices is anti-democratic. Being told how to vote by you or not being given the option to vote for something representative of me is anti-democratic.
If the Ancient Greeks saw people calling the US government a democracy, they’d be offended. Much of the social struggles are because a lack of democratic infrastructure and a lack of understanding what democracy actually is.
You’ve been fed a narrative that you’ve clearly swallowed. You don’t even get a say on who your leader is, you’re provided a set of options, told it’s democratic, and patted on the bum on the way out.
No I’m just saying people who think protest voting or throwing your vote away is ever smart, this is proof it isn’t.
This really entirely could’ve been avoided and this was one of the steps in a stairwell of bullshit that could’ve stopped it all
