Rather than taunt Republican voters about their losses, some people have taken to subtly persuade them into believing that voting for the GOP is a waste of time. I've tried this tactic a few times during online interactions with MAGA followers (surprisingly enough, they don't usually pay much attention to my likes or previous posts) and they've been very receptive to the idea of withholding votes from RINOs or leaving the party to form a new one.

On the one hand, I would call it wrong to discourage voting as a matter of principle.

On the other hand, the republican party stands on a foundation of literally destroying all life in order to briefly enrich the already richest and make bigots of all stripes feel good, so any effort to undermine it is morally and logically sound.

So I guess, like, it's evil, but it's a necessary - or, rather, vitally important - evil.

Paradox of tolerance. The gloves come off when a primary aim of that voting bloc is already to take away voting from people they irrationally despise.

I don't think it's evil to stop evil people from doing evil things.

You're not taking their rights away, you're just convincing them not to use em, which is fine imo

No more evil than rigging the system and actively impede people from voting, like the Republicans have been doing.

Encouraging someone not to vote is orders of magnitude less evil than rigging the system and suppressing their ability to vote. In fact its not evil at all - theres nothing wrong with trying to talk someone out of doing something terrible.

No, but it does make one a projecting hypocrite when accusing others of doing that in reverse just because they dared to speak poorly of Democrats/Hillary Clinton/Joe Biden.

"Hurr durr suppressing turnout chud." No jackass, I'm just stating my opinion. I'm not telling anyone else not to vote.

Yes. Every law-abiding citizen should be allowed to vote, regardless of their political affiliation.

The question wasnt about preventing them from voting, just talking them out of it. In other words debating politics and trying to change their minds. Nothing evil about that.

They're allowed to vote, they just shouldn't.

That's just being honest and persuasive imo.

The GOP is awful.

If it was like, lying to them about what day to vote or location, yeah that's dishonest.
