Do you have a problem with the ext-session-lock protocol?

Oh no, you’re still wrong about that, you letting fascists win is absolutely benefiting fascists. You refusing to accept that has required you to make insane leaps of mental gymnastics. I just gave up because no amount of logic can reach you.

Why does it matter, actually?

Not fighting trump is also bad. You’re letting fascists take over by not fighting trump.

Making fun of the thing by doing the thing works against the people who do the thing.

Stigmatizing toxically masculine people by saying they have small penises will make them hesitate more than any high-ground maneuver.

High-ground maneuvers don’t have a history of working out for anyone. You have to wrestle the pig in the mud, you can’t stay clean while doing that.

You’re helping trump by not helping kamala.

If someone is running from someone with a knife, and you see which way they went, and the guy with the knife asks you which way they went, you should mislead that person. Anything else, and you’re also at fault.

Not helping them win and not fighting against them ultimately mean you’re benefitting them.

If nazis were up for election, and you didn’t fight against them, you would be at fault for not fighting against them. You can twist words all you want, but it’s not going to change the fact that not fighting against them is your choice and that benefits them.

You could’ve fought them, you agree that they’re worse, but you didn’t, so, you’ve benefitted them. They want you to do exactly what you’re doing.

No, because it only bothers people who are toxically masculine

people who aren’t simply think it’s stupid

But it is not correct to say that it benefits Trump without that qualification.

The problem is that in the real world that qualification exists. There is no escaping it.

You’re letting the water evaporate… which is no different.

You’re letting trump have better odds.

You are being purposely obtuse in pretending otherwise.

Your inaction will benefit trump. End of story.

If you don’t vote for kamala, and you support kamala more, you are helping trump.

There are three options:

1. +1 kamala
2. 0 kamala
3. +1 trump, which we will consider -1 for the purposes of this demonstration

Rank them by which benefits trump the most, and you discover that +1 for kamala is better for kamala and worse for trump.

The fact that you cannot understand this is insane. Your inaction is still a choice that benefits the party you least support, because if you had voted for the party you don’t least support, you’d be benefitting the party you support.

Even by your own example, not turning the water on will cause the pool to evaporate, which is not as bad as directly draining it, but still causing it to drain more than if you had done something to benefit it. Your inaction has consequences.

You are failing to take an opportunity to increase Kamala’s chances and decrease Trump’s

that is literally the exact same thing. By not increasing kamalas chances, you have increased trumps chances.

I do not understand how you are confused by this. At this point I have to just accept that there is just something wrong with your brain.

Neither an increase nor a decrease.

how do you not understand that neither an increase or a decrease, when there are two choices, is equivalent to a neutral vote, and therefore you are increasing the odds of the side that you don’t want to win, than if you had voted for the side you do want to win.

How is this so complex for you? I am genuinely baffled.

and the same is a lower chance for the candidate you prefer than if you had voted for them.

How are you confused by this???

if you vote for kamala

+1 chance for kamala

if you do not vote

+0 chance for kamala

If trump is an option, and you didn’t increase the chance for kamala, you have increased the chance for trump

Yes, the same, which is WORSE for the candidate you prefer.

I’m not, I’m encouraging them to vote strategically

that accomplishes nothing but improving the odds of your last choice. It’s not like your vote is an endorsement… everyone knows about strategic voting, so, the fact that you’re voting strategically makes it obvious that you don’t support that person just because you voted for them.

Then you would indeed be a kamala supporter and you are indeed negatively impacting your better choice with this

If you made a list of your top choices for president, from 1-whatever, would kamala be higher than trump, or lower?

it’s both

it’s a vote thrown away, which benefits trump, if you’d be a kamala supporter

this is so not complicated the mental gymnastics on display could go to the olympics

as for your points

1. It’s mathematically impossible for a third party candidate to win, no amount of throwing away your vote will change the mathmatical certainty, this shows you did not understand the video you responded to
2. congrats, you have funded a party that can with absolute certainty accomplish nothing, woop de do.
3. Voting always does that
4. At the cost of benefitting the party you like the least… there’s so many ways to do that that are risk free but instead you risk trump for god knows what reason

by not voting for a candidate that can win, your vote is entirely thrown away, it could’ve been used on someone who had a chance, but was wasted, therefore it benefitted the party you least support

vote strategically, or why bother?
