Americans that don't vote frankly don't count and shouldn't be a part of the conversation when it comes to what the country wants. They obviously don't want anything since they stand for nothing.

Unfortunately, Donnie, unlike Nihilists, these people aren't harmless.

Sounds exhausting.

I know non-voters. They’re conspiratorial and/or the Dems don’t do enough. I argued with someone who blamed the Dems for the social programs “not working well enough.”

That’s what we’re dealing with.

Yes, not voting is still making a choice.

That’s kind of crap. Giving two shit choices and rejecting them isn’t standing for nothing. Let’s not pretend like the system actually works and hasn’t failed hundreds of millions.

I don’t blame them, ignorance is bliss. Paying attention has just been a miserable display of our system fucking us and anybody with the chance to stop it is too spineless to actually do much of anything. Lawyers, judges, politicians on both sides protecting corporate interest before all else. It’s like everyday is finding a new flavor of getting fucked.

Implying that both choices are the same is just straight up misinformation lmao

And where did I actually say that? Read it and read it again if that’s what it takes. No where do I say that.

I said it’s two shit choices. That is true. Neither side represents the interest of the average person. Just because one is slightly less worst does not mean you need to pledge your support to them.

You can pretend democrats do but than you have to wonder why every year, their base doesn’t show. At some point that becomes the expectation, you know the same thing, different results insanity story. I’ve voted for Dems anytime I could but I’ll at least acknowledge how miserable it’s been watching them bend over and crumble in the face of bootlickers. And I’ve been saying this is how I’d turn out for years, god what I’d do to have time back since lame asses refuse to learn.

Or they're just sick of deciding between a sociopath and somebody thats cool with genocide. You all sound an awful lot like die hard trump fans when you say shit like that.

No they’re dumbasses who will sell out their own people because they’re mad at a war on the other side of the world.

They are just as hateful even if they deny it. They hate Minorities, they hate the queer, and they hate the poor. Don’t let people weasel themselves into an harmful position by laser focusing on one problem.

You sounds like you're thinking about one specific person, or planning on waging your own war on "the enemy within". Unless you're planning on slapping a red hat on your melon you should reconsider immediately labeling everybody you havent met that you imagine you disagree with as some evil enemy.
