I can

Do tell

it depends on your position of course

myself I couldn't

Voting is not speech?

but if I was a Daca child, trans person, an illegal, I could easily

voting is not speech

saying you voted it speech

like saying you killed someone is speech

you can only inductively reason that someone open about their political views vote a particular way

Voting is an endorsement of a candidate or an idea, which seems to me like it would be an act of speech

What you're suggesting sounds like "you endorsed a Bad Thing and now I can say you did that Bad Thing and use violence against you to stop the Bad Thing"

no because someone's action of voting Trump into office has responsibility for the increased drone strikes in Yemen

for example

the actions of the person you vote for would be your doing to a degree

small maybe, doesn't mean your actions do not effect people in your country and out of it

and I might argue if for example the founder of pragerU never voted his actions of lying and propaganda would be enough means to that end as well I think. I would have to think about it more

Still sounds like punishing wrongthink to me

wrong think all you want

don't vote for it

this is an action

So if I just keep all my opinions secret I'm safe from the thought police?

Or what if I vote for someone who doesn't win?

that would be like failing to save a dying person

not your fault you didn't advocate for the 'bad' thing

also sure if you keep your idea secret

or who you voted for

mainly

@C1PHER what was matts opinion on Hasans comments

Hasar?

hasan piker

Ah

Are you referring to the Obama drone strikes?

Piker's opinion seemed to be based on some actual facts, but he expressed it in an extraordinarily stupid way

Which I would agree with

@Clive nice whataboutism if obama did it too I don't care I don't like it at all

ok

I was wondering because every conservative news outlet and youtuber got fucking triggered so hard

> "America deserved 9/11"
If we're generous, he's suggesting that America brought it upon itself by constantly arming terrorist groups in the ME, which is a valid opinion to have

yea

if you watch the entire clip he explains that part
