    Can someone explain this to me?

    Hexbear either hates Biden as much as Trump or it hates Biden more than Trump, depending on which person you ask about the Hexbear spectre and on which day you ask them.

    They usually agree that Hexbear is indistinguishable from Trump supporters.

    They are seemingly in agreement that abstaining from voting does nothing but they are also seemingly in agreement that not voting is effective because it facilitates the victory for the side you oppose.

    So if we are telling people not to vote then:

    • It should be of no concern because it doesn’t do anything

    • It should be of no concern because (ostensibly) we support Trump and not Biden and when we tell one another on this site not to vote we would be making a Biden win more viable

    • They also think this a credible threat to Biden’s re-election because they’re talking about how bad things would be if we “get our way” and Trump is elected

    I just can’t parse out how many conflicting and contradictory arguments are all getting jumbled into that conversation in that thread yet everyone seems to be nodding in agreement with eachother.

    It’s like a nightmare “Yes, and…” situation in there.

      Ah, I think I know what’s happened here. We often point out how voting for the “lesser evil” just results in the government becoming more evil over time. Liberal hate this, and don’t want it to be true. So they assert that the opposite is true, that somehow, not voting is the thing that makes the government bad. If they view something as an insult, but don’t understand it, they just adopt the “no u” attitutide towards that, and combine that with a healthy dose of repeating themselves enough times to make something become true. I think I might call this phenomenon “Dorothyism” after the wizard of Oz, they just repeat “They’re the ones doing the bad thing, not me” over and over again, hoping it will return them back to Kansas.
