    @T00l_shed if i don’t vote, i don’t vote. i choose other courses of action. the people who voted for Doug Ford voted for Doug Ford. the people who did not vote did not vote for anyone.

    here’s the nonsense logic of what you’re saying: most of eight billion people in the world who also didn’t vote in the Ontario election also voted for Doug Ford because they didn’t vote. but the people who did vote for Doug Ford, they’re your best friend and you’re okay with their decision. so you don’t really have any problem with Doug Ford.

    implicit agreement is not a thing. that’s the opposite of consent. that’s you putting the responsibility for things going wrong, in a system that is designed make things go wrong, on everyone but the people who caused the problem. that is bullshit.

      Fucking TIL the population of Ontario is 8 billion. Thanks for learning me

            @T00l_shed

            you quoted me, but then you claimed i said something i did not say.

            let’s try again. if the people who didn’t vote for Doug Ford are responsible for the election of Doug Ford, then let’s include everyone else in the world, not just Ontario. the whole world is responsible for electing Doug Ford then, because they did not vote for Doug Ford, except for the people who voted for Doug Ford.

            since your argument is that not voting for Doug Ford is voting for Doug Ford, why not draw that out to its fully ridiculous conclusion? it’s a ridiculous statement to begin with, to say that people who didn’t do a thing actually did do the thing by not doing it, but the people who did do the thing by doing the thing did nothing at all. somehow they are absent from this equation.

            why won’t you hold the people who did vote for Doug Ford responsible for voting for Doug Ford? they are the people who voted for Doug Ford. that is the decision they made.

              2 things.

              1)why won’t you hold the people who did vote for Doug Ford responsible for voting for Doug Ford? they are the people who voted for Doug Ford. that is the decision they made.

              Who says I dont?

              1. you quoted me, but then you claimed i said something i did not say.

              I “quoted you” I didn’t add anything to what you said

              Also your argument is a stupid strawman. You’re making up an argument that has nothing to do with what I said falsely representing my argument. Please stop responding

                you don’t because you haven’t.

                it’s not a strawman, and it’s not stupid.

                if the people who didn’t vote for Doug Ford are responsible for the election of Doug Ford, why make it only about Ontario? the whole rest of the world didn’t vote for Doug Ford either.

                children can’t vote, did they vote for Doug Ford by not being old enough to vote?

                those who do not have a permanent address, perhaps because they can’t afford housing, can’t vote. did they vote for Doug Ford by not being able to afford astronomical rent?
