I shake my head at ballots cast for elephants
I shake my head at ballots cast for donkeys
cuz I swear to God our leaders
they will be the death of us
there is no vote we can cast to set us free
vote November second if it seems right to you
don’t vote if you think it just holds us down
but tell me what we’re gonna do on November third
to make sure there’s no government left to elect two years from now
Decisions are made by those that show up. If you didn’t vote, you don’t get to bitch when the results aren’t what you wanted.
yes, I do
And we will all laugh at you for that hot take. Next time get off your ass and participate if you have an opinion.
don’t tell me what to do
Fine, but we’ll take you less seriously.
this is bigotry
Quiet contempt, mostly. Their arguments for doing so, while passionate, simply don’t hold up under scrutiny. However, trying to talk to them about it just strengthens their resolve, so I don’t bother.
simply don’t hold up under scrutiny.
And your arguments FOR participating? Will they hold up under scrutiny?
lmfao, YES. I can’t tell if you’re being intentionally myopic. For the first time in a long time we know how this is going to go. There has never been a more clear A:B case in this field. This wasn’t 2016. Dead bodies in congress and I don’t remember worrying about if my friends who are serving were going to call me from godamn greenland before Nov. Buckle up. You won. Reap the rewards.
lmfao, YES
I just love baseless confidence.
Let’s be hearing them, then.
You won.
Lol!
"You won.
Lol!"
Everyone who didn’t vote got what they asked for. There were two options. If someone thinks there’s better days ahead so be it, but what’s coming up is part of that same decision. There is no one else to blame. If the pain is worth the long term benefit, then fine, but it was an active and informed choice. The bodies that result were deemed acceptable in service of a better 2028.
Everyone who didn’t vote got what they asked for
the only thing they clearly wanted was no winner
That was not an option on the table. Again, if you think it’ll lead to a better tomorrow so be it, but acknowledge the bodies paving the road.
voting makes them responsible for the bodies.
They should shut up about politics. Not voting is literally a declaration that you don’t care who governs you. Voting is what gives you the right to complain about the government. If you didn’t vote, shut up.

no, it’s not
They should shut up about politics
Not participating in fake, anti-democratic spectacles (somehow) “disqualifies” one from talking about politics?
This is just ignorance and whiny entitlement. Your “fake anti-democratic spectacle” is the hard-won achievement of generations of people who came before you. Boring liberal representative democracy is the exception in world history. Most people in the world have never had the opportunity that you have to influence your government. Not good enough for you? Well then get off your ass and do something to make it better. The very least you can do is vote, because out of two candidates, one is always better than another. If you can’t be bothered to do even that, then I for one don’t care what you have to say about politics.
because out of two candidates, one is always better than another
if neither one should have power, I’m not voting for either one
