    These are great ideals. Let’s come back to reality. For every person that doesn’t vote, they are tacitly voting for Trump. I’m going to have to throw hands when they take my healthcare away. Please don’t make me have to throw hands. I’m not saying you, but rather the oppressors.

      Pretty sure they don’t tally up all the people who didn’t vote and add it to Trump’s total. If Trump wins you want to be mad, be mad at the people who voted for him.

        Yeah that’s not how it works in a first-past-the-post election. Like we do. RepubliQans cheat, and they vote in lock-step. It’s a law. Massive D turnout is the only way to win.

        This is why the whole “biden bad me no vote” is also a russian troll talking point. It’s a happy circumstance for them.

          For the record, I’m an advocate for everyone voting. Everyone should vote for who they want to represent them.

          But that doesn’t change what I said. People who didn’t vote for Trump aren’t the ones responsible for Trump winning an election. Thinking otherwise is just backwards

      Most people don’t have healthcare, most people are already at a point where they have to “throw hands” and people in your position are telling them to shut up and vote for who you want because you are comfortable where you are and see no issue with things continuing as they are.
