Me representing my own anarchist views isn't strawmanning, even if they're different than yours. And I will repeat myself: claiming your views as the only legitimate form of anarchism is a toxic form of infighting.

Okay centrist.

A lot of people agree with you. In fact, so many agree with you that a lot of people in firm red and blue states didn't bother voting. Because of that, Trump won the popular vote, and people said it wasn't the electoral college's fault that he won. But it was. The electoral college made people like you lose hope that you could have an impact.

If more people like you had voted, then Kamala would have won the popular vote. If Trump had won without the popular vote twice, it would be obvious to the layperson than the electoral college needs to go. We'd have much more fuel for a popular revolution to dismantle the electoral college. Right now, people are hopeless. They think most Americans want Trump. Because of people who thought like you.

Bytemeister didn't say they don't have to do any direct action. You made that up out of nothing.

You have to do both. That's what Bytemeister is saying. If you didn't vote, and you're not actively in rebellion, then claiming you're the side who does direct action is an obvious lie. And they're right, you are lying. You're tanking our chances of overthrowing the government through revolution.

Choosing not to vote doesn't make you not a centrist.

Good news for you, voting only takes one day.

On a tour of Mr Wonka's chocolate factory, a little girl is shown Wonka's experimental gum and has some. It turns her purple and makes her swell like a blueberry. Vance did the same thing.

The fact that the Shire is a paradise is exactly why Frodo couldn't stay. The people there could never understand what he had been through. The horrors of war, the hardship he endured.
