Pardon me for not finding “vulnerable people need to die for my ideology” very convincing.

This message reached 2000 people at most, 1000 are from the US, 500 agree, 350 of them will vote. But they all live in different states.
Why even bother?
If only it were possible to make social media posts more than once.
Personally I think you're overstating the electoral impact of this post -- if it really were "one powerful argument posted on social media = 350 votes", then a community of 100 people could each make a post a week from now until the election and swing the election by one million votes.
I actually do think that's somewhat similar to how it works. It is widely acknowledged that authoritarian governments are running organized troll campaigns on social media; every big social media platform has a team assigned to detecting and combatting it. I don't think that would be happening if it simply produced 0 result. I think the result is less than 350, but it's definitely not 0.
This. You either become a bot in the hands of those you like or those who you don't like win with the help of their bots. Needless to say, I don't share your optimism, but I'm glad that we share the same despair.
I see how MGS2sation of the world is happening and I simply don't know how to exist here politically.
