Failure to read an opposing viewpoint, makes it impossible to conduct an effective debate or counterpoint.
You limit yourself to talking at me.
You're still complaining about me not voting because you refuse to understand.
But I'm inclined to agree with your quote, though I prefer this quote to yours:
In your silence, you agree.
In this case, the case of voting for a federal election. I am silent because I believe both sides in America agree wrong and going about doing things the wrong way. It is not my civic responsibility to vote for which ever candidate I think is the least evil if I don't want to and nobody can make me and I will not vote for one candidate because they are not the other. In this instance it equates to accepting the outcome of the masses. I can't complain about Trump. Because I didn't bother to oppose him. I didn't feel like my voice would make a difference, and despite all your bitching, it would not have. I don't think the American system of government changes much regardless of the outcome. The same rotten system will remain, governmental officials at all levels in every state will continue to enrich themselves and continue to blame the other side for their shortcomings. I'm done listening to whine about my decisions, though. It's doesn't even amount to a straw-man argument, now you're just bitching to bitch. Bitch-made motherfuckers tend to do that.
Now, this thread was started as a hostile attack against free speech, although there was a war to be fought.
If it has to be fought out like a war. Then so be it.
