    yes we made a bunch of noise about the failures of the democrats in an effort to pressure them to fucking do something. whether you think we are stupid for refusing to vote or not, you can’t deny how much discourse there is and how much engagement has occurred.

      It’s embarrassing that you fell for right-wing propaganda. That’s what it is.

      Refusing to vote in the general election is actually beyond stupid. None of your arguments will have any merit, and when Trump wins, you can buy some golden shoes to commemorate sticking it to the DNC.

        Voting for someone that does not represent you because you are more scared of the other guy is indistinguishable, as a signal, from someone that fully supports them. By voting against your own interests you are actively undermining the democratic process.

          See that’s where your argument makes no sense. Unless you want Trump to win, not voting is in effect “against your own interests”. Undermining the democratic process is what Trump WILL DO if he is elected.

          This is the reality of our election process, like it or not.

            Don’t bother. These braindead kids have eaten up the propaganda and it’s long since digested. It’s on us to keep their rights alive.

          And not voting is indistinguishable from thinking you like both candidates and trust that either will do a fine job.
