I shouldn't be frustrated by people unwilling to have a dialogue about what values they find important in our democracy, but I have been. I guess some people just expect to be able to demand people vote a specific way but can't be bothered to have a dialogue.

Maybe mastodon should have the ability to make posts that replies aren't allowed on? Like a rant button, or soap box feature

I voted early. It's the new cool thing to do. Do it, or do it on the day... Or throw your vote away on purpose by spoiling your ballot. Just please, exercise your right that thousands of people have given their lives so you could have this say in our democracy, even if that say is a big F U to your polling candidates.

Apathy is the worst, and there's nothing an apathetic person can find the energy to say that will change my mind, so why like even bother

@riskybiz @metlstorm @riskybusiness I was listening to the latest episode and I'm flooded that what I think is the best, most level headed cyber security podcast only gets 27k downloads in a week after episode release.

People not plugged in are sleeping on amazing content. It feels like an injustice I want to help correct

Please keep in your hearts the sacrifices we've made on #vimyridge to keep world peace by putting our ancestors bodies in harm's way to defend order and true democracy across the world.

I hope we stand ready to make the ultimate sacrifice in face of threats both domestic and foreign against threats to the most egalitarian system of governance we've come up with to date. Being prepared for the bad scenarios and preparing for worst case scenarios is foundational in making the world a better place.
