Are you going to hold to a single fucking position in this conversation, or are you just wasting my time?
They are doing two things here. Wasting your time, and repeating the message "don't vote" as many times as they can. They're relying on the same techniques as marketers here. Likely paid to do it. What a twisted world we live in, honestly, where such a thing would ever be true...
I don't think DBZ is paid to do this. I think they're legitimately just cynical and unwilling to confront their own position on the matter. It happens, to all of us. But it's still important to call out.
Why are they so hell bent on convincing others not to vote? I've always found it a really weird thing to preach about, personally
Because they think that convincing people not to vote will either delegitimize the system itself, or convince the non-voters to pour their energy into other means of change.
It's just so painfully unrealistic that I can't fathom believing either point.
We can barely get people to vote as things currently stand, but if I spread enough doom people will realize that other political action is a better alternative
If trump is reelected, that'll be the real wake up call for these sheeple!
People can be driven into despair when they don't see results. And when people are driven into despair, they often become desperate - and desperate people will grasp at everything, no matter how slim the chances.
