Sure, *you* didn't in this particular scenario - but you got awfully close. That's the point I'm making. The loud, extremist voices driving off otherwise reasonable people.

I'm ON your side. But you're not on mine. Look at the overwhelming response here with the immediately pegging me into a "both sides" fallacy and then everyone attempting to argue me down as if that was my argument in the first place.

It's straight up unreasonable - I'm one of the very few who will tolerate it to get my point across. Everyone else will leave much faster, and then just vote against you.

If someone is petty enough to vote for an evil that would make the earth a significantly worse place because they had strangers being mean to them online... they're evil.

If enough people are like that, those dumb "Giant Comet 2024" bumper stickers have a point.

Further, it hardly matters anymore. Enough people were seemingly that petty, and now we might not even get another election for voting to even matter. Hell, it might barely matter anyway even if we somehow manage to still have elections, climate change is going to get significantly worse and Trump's admin is going to if anything accelerate that.
