That’s a lot of words you seem to be putting in my mouth there friend
Nah, I don’t think it is your intention to say these things. I think that you didn’t consider what you were actually saying when you tried to lay the blame on the voters instead of the candidate.
My point is that just because action was taken by the voters does not mean fault for that action rests with the voters. Here, the candidate’s advocacy for genocidal actions is the cause for her failure to win election.
This is simultaneously an argument to disenfranchise ourselves from the democratic process
That’s a common error: Abstention is not disenfranchisement. The voter is not capable of disenfranchising themselves. Disenfranchisement is a concept that can only be imposed on the voter against their will.
Demanding the voters select from two genocidal candidates is disenfranchisement: the only democratic choice remaining is abstention.
