perishthethoughtThe problem with not voting
counter-point: 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.
If you chose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
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.

Is that what 2016 was? Cuz boy howdy did that plan backfire. Or are you just going for the repeat? And trying to claim credit for “making a bunch of noise” by sitting on your ass like you’ve contributed to some organized movement that’s progressing towards actual change is laughable.
