That’s a circular argument. Drag asked you how voting props up the electoral system. You said “well how does propping up the electoral system help?” Drag agrees that propping up the electoral system is bad, but drag has not been told a reason that voting is that, except that it’s supposed to be a symbolic loss. Drag doesn’t care about symbolic losses, drag cares about stopping Trump from bombing the West Bank. Drag cares about Palestinian lives much more than symbolic complicity. Drag still wants to hear a practical reason why voting helps electoralism.

I never said voting props up the electoral system, I said voting for Democrats or Republicans props it up. Drag is arguing against ghosts.

Drag still wants an answer to the question you think drag should have asked. Drag doesn’t think that detail is worth delaying the actual conversation for.
