Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

If you have something to say, just say it. This image is not communicating what you think it does. Cheers,
Your premise is that not voting sends an unclear signal as to the like or dislike of the candidates. However you are sending a signal if you do vote. You are signalling acceptance of the system through you participation. You are signalling that you are happy to participate in mob violence. It is not about strategy. It is about morality.
OK, go on.... explain what you mean about morality.
So you believe you have the right to force your ideals upon peaceful others due to mob rule, aka democracy? If no, then you do not vote. You do not give consent for some one else (a representative) to do so in your name. That is a moral, as opposed to a utilitarian, approach.
