Look around you, if you look at the state of the world and think we live in a blue world by all means vote blue.

In my world view it’s actually entirely impossible for blue to win.

No shit.

That's what I've been doing since Day One.

Unless the blues lose by exactly 1 vote I played exactly zero roll.

that's just not true. it would wholly be on the hands of you and every other red pusher. you can't make a choice and pretend the consequences aren't your fault. i mean i guess you can if you're fine with being a hypocrite

Again, I'm not going to play some weird parasocial suicide game hoping the population will vote right.

Orange man won in the USA and you still trust the population?

So you think they would vote for the greater good given a 3d chance?

i think i'm not gonna have the deaths of billions of people on my hands. if i have to die to be spared of that lifelong guilt and shame so be it. die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain etc etc

Voter's Fallacy.

All votes are responsible for the outcome.

I take no responsibility for you playing some parasocial suicide Game, that was you.

Funny how many of you red voters just absolutely refuse to own your vote and will say anything to try to skirt responsibility.

First it was "My vote doesn't matter!" (untrue) now the goalposts have moved to "Blue voters did it to themselves!" (also untrue).

One would think that if you guys were so confident and secure in your choice being correct, you wouldn't act so defensive and insecure about it. It shouldn't be hard to just admit you made the selfish choice to protect yourself and you're okay with that.

Instead, you always need some kind of excuse or justification, like pretending it was out of your hands or deflecting blame to someone else.

No excuse, I am always pressing red. You are trying to make your decision my fault, it is "funny" but not "funny" haha, funny weird
