    I feel like there’s a misunderstanding here.

    When people say “vote blue no matter who” picture Richard Simmons saying “Love yourself, move your body, watch your portions”.

    It’s a call for everyone to engage in minimum viable action.

    If you’re completely politically unmotivated, don’t care, couldn’t be bothered, at the very least get your ass up and go vote for a Democrat.

    If you’re more involved, more informed, more active than that, well, then that advice isn’t for you, just like people who spend 8 hours at the gym don’t generally need advice from Richard Simmons.

    AND YES: If you know people who need advice like “At least walk. Like, literally just get up and do a jumping jack for crying out loud”, understand that info dumps about ‘theory’ are only going to stuff them further into the couch

      Naw dawg. Catch me not doing anything for 4 years and then choosing not to vote against someone who will do more of the same stuff that the Trump admin is currently doing while insisting that my vote doesn’t matter so it’s everyone else’s fault.
