I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they've been deemed to deserve it.

For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.

Honestly, I think it'll be worth drilling the fact that it's the Republican Party, not just Trump. Otherwise, folks deep in the cult will just use the current figurehead as a scapegoat for everything wrong with the party without acknowledging that the party itself works against them.

They probably will, anyway, but it's worth a shot.

I mean, yes, I am surprised that they sat on their asses and tacitly chose the even more genocidal candidate.

I get not wanting to make the choice between eating dirt or wet shit, but sitting this one out was just asking for wet shit.

I can't tell if this comment is ignorant or malicious, but I'm not sure if the difference even matters here.

What's the point in playing nice with somebody who won't engage in good faith?

Hildryn has always been a frame I want to enjoy. Having such a massive pool of shields that's used as energy is a cool concept, but I've always struggled to feel like I'm making an impact with my abilities, and there are other frames I would rather use as a weapon platform.

I'm happy for those people who have enough privilege to sit this election out; but to even try and imply that the two dominant parties are even similar is an insult when only one of them wants to fucking kill me.

Even if a notable number of people voted 3rd party, they're still going to be treated the same as those who didn't vote at all, because in a practical sense, thats what they are.

What bothers me about the people taking the bit of time and effort to go vote for 3rd parties is that there's really no point to it. Making sure your own vote doesn't matter is insane to me when voting isn't mandatory. They could've just done nothing and achieved the same outcome.

Many of those aforementioned nations aren't exactly still running, though.

They'll do it again.

Defederation is weak sauce. Just block/tag accounts that aren't willing to engage in good faith, and your page clears up pretty quickly.

At the end of the day, there aren't even that many people stirring the pot. They're just unhealthily active.
