    No they’re just morons who demand to vote against their interests.

    Do you even know what leftist interests are? Maybe they’re just against your interests which are more closely aligned with fascists than we feel comfortable attaching ourselves to.

    Yes! The votes determine who takes office, see? That’s how that works.

    The electors do that technically, not voters.

    We don’t vote on the laws, we vote on the people who vote on the laws. So having an opinion doesn’t do anything to the law. It’s like saying public opinion has “near-zero” effect on the migration of the South African swallow.

    Cool, so voters get to choose the face of our abusers but have no control on their abuse since that’s just an ignorable opinion. Great job. No notes.

    Wow, you really - um. Yes? Voters do authorize people to hold office (and, by extension, deny others the authority to hold office) but the “ruling over us” part is just a weird way to say it. You see, governments are how societies agree to . . . Okay wait, so when people agree to live in society, they . . Okay let’s talk about the Constitution. You see they left this England place because it was bogus, and they were like, hey - if we don’t get some cool rules, pronto, then we’ll just be bogus too!

    Vibes-based political opinion presented as humor.

    When trump is gone I am definitely going to go to brunch. But otherwise (and still) no.

    Unsurprising. I’ll still be fighting for something better because I’m not a white supremacist.
