    That it the most misguided logic. What about if George Carlin didn’t vote in this election, like he didn’t when whe was alive? Would that make him a Trump supporter?

      What about if George Carlin didn’t vote in this election…

      I’m pretty confident he won’t be. And to make an assumption about his hypothetical practice in a situation he never encountered is simply ascribing your views to his with a false veneer of authority.

      Lol, your message is “don’t vote for Biden” not “don’t vote because voting is bullshit”.

      Stop being obtuse, your political games are tired.

        No, I’m saying that not voting for “the right” candidate isn’t equivalent to supporting “the wrong” candidate in any situation - It’s using your vote. You suggest that the two parties have the right to hold our vote hostage because “the other guy is worse”, and I say that’s wrong and no one should stand for it. If I’m not allowed to vote for who I want because my vote is “wasted” or because you tell me I might as well be voting for the other guy, then what is a vote for?

          Quit being obtuse. The time for “the right” candidate is in the primaries. The general is for forming coalitions.
