My perspective is that no one has the right to infringe on the rights of others, and to me any act that facilitates Trump entering the white house creates a greater infringement on human rights than any vote that facilitates Harris.

These are things that shouldn't even need to be decided by an election, they should just be codified and not up for vote at all, but here we are.

Persuade all you want.

Threatening/intimidating/commanding people to vote in a particular way is not OK though. It's not something where the end justifies the means, and it's a pandora's box that should not be opened. OP would be rightly called a threat if a conservative version of it was posted. It's akin to this, minus the power dynamic.

And when I am being threatened myself by their stance?

Hey if you are convinced by the two-wrongs-make-a-right approach, that's your business not mine.

Stovetop, no one comes here to hear your annoying yappy petulance, and you havent changed a single persons mind, just annoyed everyone who reads this thread. You are the reason the block user button exists.

Then block me instead of whining about it.
