I got a good one for you
Me: Trump won because people didn't vote for Kamala. She got 10 million less votes than Biden.
Tankies: No it's because she ran a bad campaign. It's not because of the voters at all.
Exactly. As if those are competing ideas. For those to be competing ideas, voters have no agency. Which they do not hesitate to imply if it makes them feel correct.
I'm gonna be honest: voters are dumb, and that's the biggest reason why they don't have agency. Forget voter ID and banning mail-ins, the biggest form of voter suppression is propaganda. Billionaires invest tons of money into making sure voters stay dumb. Politicians actually have a ton of control over voters, because they're so easy to manipulate. So the tankies do have a point.
HOWEVER, if voters weren't so dumb, they'd have agency! And the tankies who didn't vote because they're scared of lesser evilism? Well yeah, there's your voter suppression through propaganda. The dumb voting is coming from inside the house.
Ew, I didn't order any boots. Try Jack's table instead.
