@wonderingwanderer if you're so brave to call me an idiot then come say that to my face and see what happens.
you won't respond to reason, so you can have the alternative.

you don't because you haven't.
it's not a strawman, and it's not stupid.
if the people who didn't vote for Doug Ford are responsible for the election of Doug Ford, why make it only about Ontario? the whole rest of the world didn't vote for Doug Ford either.
children can't vote, did they vote for Doug Ford by not being old enough to vote?
those who do not have a permanent address, perhaps because they can't afford housing, can't vote. did they vote for Doug Ford by not being able to afford astronomical rent?
you quoted me, but then you claimed i said something i did not say.
let's try again. if the people who didn't vote for Doug Ford are responsible for the election of Doug Ford, then let's include everyone else in the world, not just Ontario. the whole world is responsible for electing Doug Ford then, because they did not vote for Doug Ford, except for the people who voted for Doug Ford.
since your argument is that not voting for Doug Ford is voting for Doug Ford, why not draw that out to its fully ridiculous conclusion? it's a ridiculous statement to begin with, to say that people who didn't do a thing actually did do the thing by not doing it, but the people who did do the thing by doing the thing did nothing at all. somehow they are absent from this equation.
why won't you hold the people who did vote for Doug Ford responsible for voting for Doug Ford? they are the people who voted for Doug Ford. that is the decision they made.
that's not what i said. try again.
reading comprehension is not your strong suit, i can tell.
@T00l_shed if i don't vote, i don't vote. i choose other courses of action. the people who voted for Doug Ford voted for Doug Ford. the people who did not vote did not vote for anyone.
here's the nonsense logic of what you're saying: most of eight billion people in the world who also didn't vote in the Ontario election also voted for Doug Ford because they didn't vote. but the people who did vote for Doug Ford, they're your best friend and you're okay with their decision. so you don't really have any problem with Doug Ford.
implicit agreement is not a thing. that's the opposite of consent. that's you putting the responsibility for things going wrong, in a system that is designed make things go wrong, on everyone but the people who caused the problem. that is bullshit.
@PhoenixDog nope. if you voted for Ford, then you voted for Ford. if you didn't vote for Ford, then you didn't vote for Ford. abstention is not neutrality. words have meaning. you are responsible for your choices, or else you make irresponsible choices.
to be able to vote, you must have a permanent address. everyone who does not have a permanent address because they can't afford housing, did they vote for Doug Ford? children can't vote, did they vote for Doug Ford by not being old enough to vote?
why won't you put the responsibility for having voted for Doug Ford on those who marked a ballot for Doug Ford?
if most Ontarians didn't vote, then most Ontarians didn't vote for Doug Ford. so who voted for Doug Ford, and what does that system represent?
"not my party, not my leader" never goes out of style if you're an anarchist.
@Eyekaytee @CowsLookLikeMaps he probably doesn't care what he means. it's an anti-Semitic dogwhistle.
@Cracks_InTheWalls it is deliberate. the media people who write about this topic refuse to educate themselves beyond a very superficial level, which enables more of the equivocal liberalism they are also doing. they are very much a part of the problem, as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. outlined in his letter from Birmingham jail. he said it is not the swastika-tattooed nazis nor the hood-wearing klansmen he feared the most, but the white "moderates" who enable them.
no one is immune to propaganda, so it's always important to check and do your due dilligence to make sure you don't fall for fascist nonsense. Canadian media isn't any less full of it than any other. most of our news is owned by one or two companies, both of which are owned by fascists. there are as many unscrupulous cranks writing for the Ottawa Citizen and the Globe and Mail as there are writing for The SUN. 000000000000000
