If you are online supporting the idea of withholding ones vote in order to advance a political agenda, you are enacting voter suppression. Layed out pretty simply for you.

Art thou talking about us, or is that a "generic you" like a "royal we"?

(because if thou are talking about me in particular, we hold no wish to keep up with thine baseless misplaced accusations)

I don't get it, you trolling?

You replied to jarfil with the words "this post", it isn't clear if "this post" refers to jarfil's comment or to the article itself. Also, the use of "You" leads the reader to imply that the "You" is jarfil, rather than "You" meaning 'anyone who tells someone to withhold their vote for a political stance'.

jarful

Please, no... 🤦

(rant)

I've kept this nick since back in the 1990s, when I had to spell it over the phone while creating an account, because client support said "Oh, like Garfield?" and I found it funny... since I also liked cats, the comic strip, hated Mondays, and loved lasagna... a couple decades later Google decided that "Did you mean: jar file", and since becoming a brony, the full jar thing has become a very unfortunate coincidence. But I refuse to change it, I was there first!...

Sincere apologies, I typed it correctly 2/3 times and messed up on number 3. Corrected.

[–] jarfil@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Np. I'm kind of used/resigned to it... 🙂

Yeah, I understand now, I wasn't arguing.
