    Acceptable to whom?

    Obviously the strategy of voter shaming is acceptable to a lot of people.

    I despise voter shaming. The politicians have to EARN our votes. Always. No exceptions.

    Some folks are trying to flip this dynamic on its head, where the politician will do nice policies but only if we’re going to be good little boys and girls, shut up, stop making demands, and just vote for the billionaire-approved functionary.

      Only up until this exception: When the neofascist movement captures America. Then they won’t even need our votes, let alone earn them.
