    What is the purpose of demanding to people online that they don’t criticize The Party?

      To try and get everyone pulling the same direction so we don’t lose again, and to get people to understand that FPTP is not about voting FOR a good candidate. It’s about voting AGAINST the bad.

              Nah, it’s just that when a conversation devolves into personal insults I know that I’m correct and the other person has given up.

                Funny, I know I’m correct and the other person has given up when they start deliberately playing dumb and pretending to miss the point

                  It’s ok to not understand. But if you get a free moment, go back and re read the thread. I’ll summarize.

                  FPTP means you vote AGAINST who you hate more, not FOR a candidate. Failing to vote is a vote for the worst candidate. Nit picking problems of politicians who are mostly good is counter productive, especially when we have literal Satan and his hoard of demons running the country. Focus where you spend your time. Focus on fixing the worst parts.

                    Ok. Thanks for that non-sequitor. Maybe you should read back so you can remind yourself that the conversation was about you demanding nobody Criticize The Party, not about voting. But you’re to busy being a smug loser to do that.

                    literal Satan and his hoard of demons running the country.

                    Deeply unserious person.

                    Focus where you spend your time. Focus on fixing the worst parts.

                    So you focus on antagonizing leftists online.
