You don’t have to be the person who overthrows the government.

Your vote is for people who incite the overthrowing.

Fuck that I wouldn’t vote for them

Why say you support a political party, then say you wouldn't ever vote for them? Doesn't that make you... Not a republican?

When did I say I support their party?

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In the earlier comments someone said supporting a party that would overthrow the government is bad, and you said

I never would in a million years

Which sounded like a "yeah but i wouldn't overthrow the government", leading to me assuming you considered yourself a republican

No I realise it could be taken that way. If you read further up their comment it says if you vote for someone it’s the same as overthrowing the government. I wrote I would never in response to the voting part, I didn’t need to go any further but I understand how it may have been taken that way
