As far I am concerned, anyone who did not #vote loses all right to complain about anything in #American #Politics
If I get in an argument and I sense some "both sides the same" or "I send a message by not participating" lying bullshit: block and ignore. Utterly irredeemable. Some people are just completely useless whiny self-destructive morons. They helped give us our coming hell

To me, the ones who stayed home are worse than the ones that voted for Trump. The cultists were always gonna cultist. The ones that stayed home, though? Thanks for not caring enough about the rest of the country to try to help save it from the cultists and the rapacious-billionaires.

I can understand this attitude, but I think you have to take the Electoral College into account. In Massachusetts or California, what’s the point of either a Republican or Democrat going out to vote, unless there might be a lower office contest that was in doubt (I don’t remember if my Congress member nor members of the legislature had opponents, come to think of it)?
I think, in fact, you saw this in California: fewer voters turned out where the House Congressional seat was pretty assured, more voters turned out in Congressional districts where one’s vote mattered.
I guess both California and Massachusetts had referenda to vote on….

why are you abrogating your social responsibility?
through your thinking blue states become purple states, purple states become red states, red states become blood
there's no excuses
none
you #vote
period
through that you *change* the electoral college. but we'll never change that if people don't fucking show up in force
exercises in excuse making is nothing but you rationalizing your own impotency
i do not share your impotency
@benroyce I agree 100%. I have voted in every election, even for "dog catcher" since I could vote. 1976 was my first presidential election and I voted for President Carter. I was so upset when Reagan won in 1980. I told my boss, that this was the end of small businesses. She argued I was wrong, hers went out of business a little more than a year later after 35 years. It's been downhill ever since. @lain_7 @ferricoxide @DavidM_yeg @RoguePlayer
@RegGuy @benroyce @lain_7 @ferricoxide @DavidM_yeg @RoguePlayer That’s the same election when I first voted. I was equally disappointed when Reagan won in 1980, and I likewise blame him for the long decline of American civilization—he taught voters that it is okay to be selfish.
@JosephMeyer The irony of my voting in 1976 is that it was a Republican man who went through the trouble to get me registered. I had moved and had not changed my registration. He said he'd help, and did. Things were so different in 1976.@benroyce @lain_7 @ferricoxide @DavidM_yeg @RoguePlayer
