    Good. Since we’re the deciding factor, we have increased influence and more negotiating power going forward. Now the democrats (whose slogan is also “No rights!”) might actually listen to our demands next time if they don’t want to eat shit again.

    And if they still won’t, then it’s obviously necessary to replace them and that has to start somewhere.

      hehe, I agree with you. If we don’t get what we want we root for the worst possible outcome, and just hope that we are important then!

        The meme is about voting third party, not Republican.

        But yes, there have to be consequences to us not getting what we want. It’s a very simple concept.

            What’s “horrible” about it? It’s a very simple negotiating tactic that even a toddler can understand. The difference is that we aren’t throwing a fit because we didn’t get some toy we wanted or something, we’re throwing a fit because people are being murdered en masse before our eyes. If ever there was an appropriate time to throw a fit, that time is now.

            Since our cause is correct and indisputably justified, the only thing that matters is whether the tactic is effective or not. And obviously it is effective, if the other side is being intransigent as they are, then “Do what we want, or else,” packs a lot more punch than “Do what we want, pretty please?”
