Voting is the proper way to overthrown the government. The other ways are more violent.

Nothing wrong violence as a last resort. Especially in reply to violence used against you.

I'm not a violent person. I abhor it honestly.

That being said, actual self defense is always valid.

That's why I train and carry.

Yep. Pacifism without an exception for self defense is just suicide to me.

What about when the government publishes the results of the election the day before voting starts?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

That's what happens when you don't vote hard enough and let a crooked government come into power!
