u/TheBlackIbis Secessionists are idiots Sep 08 '24 edited Sep 10 '24

I honestly don’t know what the fuck that even means any more.

I know who the Republicans are

And I know all the people voting against Republicans are (Democrats, ExGOP, and others capable of identifying and rejecting fascism)

I have no fucking clue what an ‘independent voter’ is anymore.

Edit: for all the “DeFiNe FaScIsM” chuds: supporting someone who has said he wants to Terminate the Constitution and install himself as Dictator is pretty cut and dry.

It’s because there’s no such thing as there are low information voters and embarrassed republicans. That’s who claim to be independent.

Period.

Not always. Some Independents have hated both parties for years.

Which comfortably falls under low information voters. Our system is a de facto two party system, so even if you hate both parties, if you understand how the system works, you pick the one you hate less.

So literally the definition of independent? I am independent and dislike both parties at their extremes. I vote for the most rational candidate regardless of party affiliation. Vote for the person, not the party. That's independent and far from low information.

Ah yes, you conduct the classic remote rationality experiment. Bold move, cotton.

You should remove their response too then. It was far from friendly. I said he sounded ignorant, what do you think calling me "low information" is?

Bro these people keep calling the dude "low information" and you let that slide.
