    Great motivation to vote. They might have a shitty idea of what competent leadership looks like, but at least Republicans fight for their rights when they think someone is trying to take them away.

    Keep pretending that voting doesn’t matter and it’ll eventually come true, and much sooner than you can imagine. People have literally died by the millions to achieve the democracy we take for granted. But it’s not granted, it’s earned by societies who remain vigilant and actively defend it.

      Who is doing this? Certainly not me. Thanks for the lecture though.

        Not talking to you, talking to any potential non-voters who might read your comment and think “true, it’s the politicians fault, not mine”

        If I need to look like an asshole lecturer with a stick up my ass for the next 10 months then so be it, I want my kids to live in a democracy like I did.
