  • I agree with what you’ve said but I don’t think this person actually voted Trump.

    If I were to guess, based on their message alone they probably didn’t vote, or cast it for some random with no chance.

    You could argue that not voting, or wasting the vote, is akin to voting for Trump. But regardless, I agree that people with the OPs mindset helped trump her elected and made everything worse for everyone… Except billionaires












  • removing individual freedom is never good

    I generally agree that prohibition doesn’t work, and is bad, but having an absolutist position like this is usually problematic. For example we have to restrict some people’s freedoms. Like some people want to harm or kill others, that should not be a freedom people have.

    Most things in life have a lot of nuance, which means we can’t usually make blanket rule for things.

    In saying all that… Prohibition usually doesn’t solve the issue, sometimes makes it worse, and often ends up hurting people who are already suffering (usually why they resort to harmful substances)
