Not meaningfully in a first past the post vote. Ranked choice or some other alternative, then sure…

It’s awkwardly written but I imagine it’s the difference between “I consent to this at an undefined but bounded time in the future” vs “I consent to this right now or at this predetermined single moment in time”.

Alternatively it could be “exams that would previously been non-consensual.”

Surgery can have complications, so the patient may be under anesthesia longer than originally planned delaying the practice exam.

My wife once told me about how surprising it was that there were a non insignificant number of other women in her med school ethics class arguing that non-consensual exams were just fine.

Ah, you’re privileged enough to think you’re insulated from any actual consequences of the election and fuck those other people, right?

Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool…

I was confused about how a network cable was going to kill people for a hot second there.

Democracy is a terrible form of government, but it’s worlds better than every other alternative.

When has withholding your vote brought about a positive change? It’s not like a boycott because there no financial incentive.

The only metric that matters when voting is what percentage of active voters chose you, inactive voters have chosen to silence themselves.

If the intention of withholding your vote like a boycott is to get a political operative to make a change, the change must be on purpose.

Also, work to get more seats filled with democratic butts in other states so we don’t have to prevent all defections. Florida democrats and others seem incompetent right now, seems like it’s prime for a takeover by talented organizers. Do what Harry Reed did with Nevada.

Me waiting for someone to point at any time withholding your vote actually brought about measurable change in a positive direction.

Because there’s a fundamental conflict between ruling for a “conservative interpretation of the law” and a “my party is always right and needs to retain control” perspective?
