          Well, you gotta consider everyone under 17yo can’t vote, and then, there’s all the people in prison and all the other disenfranchised citizens who have had their voting rights stripped by conservatives.

        And tens of millions of americans just didn’t care enough to vote. That was basically saying they are fine with a pedo-rapist who previously attack the captitol win the election. Nazi-enablers.

              Meaning they were not fine with either winning.

              I would like to ask, what is the point of voting according to you?

                At the very least it’s harm reduction.

                Harris wouldn’t be trying to dismantle the government right now if she had won.

                  Harm reduction is great, but if I do not see a candidate that represents me I am not going to vote.

                  Why would I support someone that is fucking me over?

                  If I had the final say in who gets to be president I might have picked Harris, but honestly, your vote is not going to change the outcome of the election, so why compromise your morality?

              Well I doubt the person I responded to would approve of voting for third party candidates. He probably thinks everyone who votes for them is a Trump-loving fascist.

                That’s true, but at least we wouldn’t have the conversation that one third of the population doesn’t give a shit

    I could have sworn I read somewhere that it’s likely 10% anyway, like 20 years ago. That was the scientific estimate of the time, although I don’t though it included the same definition.

    I just saw someone right here on Lemmy in another thread conflating sexuality with sex.

    It astounds me that in 2025 people don’t understand that sexuality is about attraction. You can be a virgin. You can be asexual and still attracted to people of your own gender. You can be gay or bi or whatever regardless of how much or how little sex you’ve ever had.

      Because a lot of the traditional hetero relationships that Christians have are only different from their other relationships because of the sex. They don’t get an emotional and spiritual connection in their relationship, and protect on to others that it’s the same.

      Right? I remember a couple decades ago when things just started opening up for lgbtq people that scientists studying sexuality gave estimates that 1:10 people were likely not going to fit the hetero “norm”.

      Looks like they nailed it.
