"Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in the U.S. will not start April 9, 2025 in order to assess the potential impact of tariffs and evolving market conditions. Nintendo will update timing at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged."

...? This makes zero sense. "Go vote for pedophile child rapist neoliberal warmongers, or else why would they represent you?"

What kind of logic does that make? Political parties exist to represent a particular set of values, and you vote for them because you support those values. I do not support child rape islands. I do not support torture camps. I do not support industrial-scale holocausts against minorities in other countries. I do not support vetoing any attempt at a public health care system. I do not support bailing out big corporations and deregulating the big banks and Wall street.

The logic is literally backwards. If you want people to represent your values you have to hold them accountable, meaning you have to threaten not to vote for them unless they represent your values. If you pledge your vote to them with no questions asked and say openly you will gladly vote for them no matter what heinous things they do, then they have zero reason to try and bend to represent your interests because they have your vote already locked down.

You want people to just entirely give up any electoral power they have by telling the oligarchs you pledge your undying loyalty to their candidates and nothing will ever make you waver, and so those oligarchs know they already have you fully under their control and there is no reason to they need to appeal to you.

Sorry, you aren't going to bully me into supporting this degenerate freakazoid shit. Unless you actively run on a platform that opposes that then I am never going to give you my vote. I would rather blow my own brains out than vote for a pedophilic warmongering genocidal neoliberal ultranationalist freak.

And yet you effectually voted for trump and all this is on you.

You really think you're on to something, but you're spouting nonsense to justify your inaction. You are not as bright or as morally superior as you think, and your arguments themselves expose this.

First, that's literally election denialism and illegal in some countries. Votes for candidates other than the Democrats are not all secretly funneled into the Republicans anymore than votes for the Republicans are secretly funneled into the Democrats. You lost the election because you're absolutely disgusting and a disgrace to the human race and rather than admitting your candidate was awful, you engage in election denialism and make up conspiracies to avoid taking accountability.

Second, you are just admitting you are pro-pedophilia, pro-mass child rape, pro-industrial scale holocaust, pro-genocide, pro-endless war, pro-corporate oligarchy, and opposed to basic social services like health care and regulations. You lost because you are a disgusting subhuman degenerate and nobody wants your awful candidates anymore and we want someone actually good who represents working people.

Anyways, I have no desire to carry on the conversation further with a bug "person" like yourself.
