    Voting and playing video games, two activities that are a fun distraction from getting real work done

      If you aren't doing well in life, just go back to your last save and try again. Then try to play life on multiple difficulty levels, because that's how you get the richest lived experience.

    Hey gamers, by voting conservative you are voting in an "easy mode" for your race and gender.

    What are you, a filthy casual? Choose equality, you cheese-loving scrub.

    The other half of lib "praxis." First they insist that voting is the only thing that will work, then when it is clear that this is not the case, they switch to "Ok, fine, but just vote for now and we'll actually work on fixing things later. It would be inconvenient for me to have to take action now, so we shouldn't.

    This was a really common form of rhetoric during the US civil rights movement I believe.

    Look. The tram is hurtling towards people on the track. Either you choose the guy who switches the track to one there's slightly less people on, or the winner is the guy who's been itching to tie additional people to the tracks as fast as he can.

    This metaphor ignores the fact that the guy who says he will switch the track has a track record (ha) of not actually switching it, and will barely pretend to be sad about the fact that more and more people keep getting tied to it.
