Edit: I am serious, this warrants an explanation. Not voting does not fix a broken system. Voting also does not fix the broken system. Shaming apathetic voters can help increase voter turnout. Increasing voter turnout does not make a more perfect union. But that’s too sad to think about, so downdoots to the left, please, and ignore my point. No wonder I’m clinically apathetic.
Edit 2: after threats of violence I would like to take the time to retract any unpatriotic statements. Our union may not be perfect but it’s the best one we have.
If you don’t like where shit is heading, and you’re not part of one of the only tools we’re given to correct course, then it’s the same as pure apathy.
Coming online and bitching about it is next to worthless. Slacktivism at its finest.
Weird, mind pointing out exactly where I insulted you? Because playing victim isn’t an argument at all; despite you believing my argument is ‘strong’ or not. The topic at hand is voting, and I explained myself. All you’ve done is make excuse after excuse.
The topic at hand is: I don’t want to chat with you further because of the way you communicated. I would prefer to discuss this with someone who does not communicate this way.
So, thank you so much, but I’m just going to have to stop now because my worthless bitching and playing-the-victim strategy was no match for your powerful logic. You are superior to me. You win. I lost. You saw through me and my excuses-after-excuses ploy. Blast! Until next we meet, fated interloper.
You should really get some better reading comprehension. “Bitching is next to worthless” was the context. This is of the topic regarding voting. Voting is what you do - bitching on the internet doesn’t get candidates elected.
And I told you what you were doing was slacktivism. That’s literally the definition of it – going on the internet and bitching about things, instead of…
Voting.
The fact that you believe that those were insults directed at YOU as a person, instead of your actions…is where you need to grow. You can do better. If you want to.
How so?

If you’re just here to suggest the same tired idea and insult strangers I don’t think you have a strong argument

Sure buddy, no problem.

Devastating! Love it. Thank you.
“If you don’t like a politician, vote against them” is the same tired idea?
People like you should be dragged into an alley and get the shit kicked out of you until you decide to care about our country.
The good news is, under Trump, that’s actually likely to happen! Except then you’ll probably be shot.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
