MODERATORS
I provided a cogent reply explaining that getting more people to vote is more effective than simply voting alone.
All I was asking is why you're telling people they have to vote for "x" when it's clear they want options.
Tell them how to find/create them but, yes, like you I want their support in a general.
They could do other things:
Example: sometimes protest moves things further than voting. What I have above gives them a way to be involved and help move things in a positive direction.
If they cause 9 more people to vote, but miss the date themselves. Are we worse off?
Telling them that voting for someone they barely agree with is the most important thing... it's not the packaging that I think most find compelling.
Remember that this entire thread began because I was replying to somebody who literally said they would NOT vote for Biden because they were mad about his Union support.
They then doubled down and said they'd be fine if that supported Trump as a result.
From your replies I would infer that you would also support my position of "just go vote anyway". You can do all the other things if you want. Fine - I don't see why you're even arguing with me.
