    Whatever makes you feel like you’re not part of the problem man. I’m not going to argue this with you.

    Either vote, or you’re part of the problem. That’s where we are now. We’d all like it to be different. But it isn’t. Whoever’s fault it is- is IRRELEVANT.

    Vote- because LIVES FUCKING DEPEND ON IT.

      If all you’re doing is voting and whining about people who don’t vote hard enough then you’re part of the problem.

      The problem is apathy, and depressed voting turnout is a symptom of apathy. If you want more people to care, then stop moaning on the internet and start volunteering.

        I’m sorry, do you think you know me? Do you know what I do to contribute to the marginalized and oppressed?

        Do you know my EIN?

        If all YOU are doing is flexing your entitlement on social media, then I’d say from the look of things- I’m not the one that needs to stop moaning. Apathy isn’t the only issue facing voter turnout.

        People like you are the bigger issue. Almost 100 million people didn’t vote in 2016. Do you stand to suggest that all of them are apathetic and “depressed”?

        You have no idea what you’re talking about.

        Discussion is over.

          No, but when I asked, you dodged the question and got offended.

          If all YOU are doing is flexing your entitlement on social media

          So, nothing then? Just the reflexive projection when someone poses an entirely reasonable query about your contributions to the political process?

          People like you are the bigger issue. Almost 100 million people didn’t vote in 2016.

          Amd now you’re assuming I didn’t vote? Why?

          Do you stand to suggest that all of them are apathetic and “depressed”?

          Not all, but it is the most significant reason for someone to abstain from voting.

          You have no idea what you’re talking about.

          Discussion is over.

          What discussion? All you’ve done is shout “VOTE!” and whine about how some people don’t think voting is enough.

              I’m not the person you need to convince. If you want to reach non-voters you’re going to have to get out of your parents’ basement from time to time.

                Ad homonym. Fantastic. I knew this was a waste of time.

                    I’m simply urging people to vote. Looking at your comment history, you REALLY shouldn’t be accusing people of whining.

                    It’s all you do.

                    Im going to ignore you now, as you clearly have nothing worthwhile to say. And I know that last word is SO important to you people, so……

                    Make it good.
