    I’m not voting for Trump, I am staying home. I previously voted for Obama, Hillary, and Biden. I have volunteered for my local democratic party in 2018. This isn’t a decision I made lightly, and telling me I’m a horrible person for doing so is only going to reinforce my beliefs.

      Where did I call you a horrible person?

      That’s dishonest. My argument is that you are mistaken and allowing your trauma to have you make irrational decisions.

          You are more okay with fascism than calling fascists weird.

          What conclusions should I draw from that?

              How about you answer my question before I answer again the question you already asked.

                You called me a horrible person when you insisted that not voting makes me a fascist, and that I should “admit it”.

                I think you just like being shitty to people, and use politics as your excuse.

                  I haven’t been shitty to you nor called you a horrible person, or even a fascist.

                  With your victim complex though, you will fit right in with the republican party.

                    As I have stated on multiple occasions, I am not a Republican. I am just not voting. A third of eligible voters did this in 2020, and even a higher percentage did not do this in 2016. Are they all republicans also?

              Thinking you’re a bad person is not the same as calling you a bad person. Laying out evidence which may lead someone to think you are a bad person is not the same as calling you a bad person.

          That’s the conclusion most people are going to reach when someone tells them, “I’ve decided to stay home because the democrats are calling the fascists weird.” You made your decision. At least have the courage to own it.

            For so long I’ve put up with so much toxicity, both online and IRL, because I was worried not doing so would make me a bad person. I’m not doing that anymore. Idk if that’s courage, but it does feel liberating.
