I think my point is, you're convincing other people to not vote. You may not intend that, but that's certainly what you're doing.

But how about we meet halfway. For every complaint you post online to the internet, where some random person will read it and feel bad and not vote, I also would love if you called your actual Democrat representative and tried influencing them for the changes you want.

That's surely not asking too much, right?

If it's on or near my plate I'm gonna try and eat it. It's called finger food for a reason.

Irrelevant. You only get two options. Bad or worse. And if you fail to vote, you get worse.

Youre a hostage. So am I. And until we get ranked choice voting, or run for office ourselves, we remain hostages. And in hostage situations, you just have to strive for the least bad option.

It's very not complicated. It's rigged. And not in our favor.

I care about securing the success of the Democrats. Anything else is securing l ensuring success of Republicans. It's literally two choices. You don't get a good one. You hope to reject the worse one.

Does anyone else literally gag at the term "sir" in this context?

True, if they're young. At some point you are accountable for the contents of your own brain.

I'm not saying it's easy. I'm not saying it's safe. I am saying the unexamined life is not worth living.

So you're saying it doesn't help the Republicans?

Ah yes, the coloring company, crow-la

So you're saying both parties suck, and also agree with the fact that our current voting system holds us hostage?

I'm 100% with you. And until we get ranked choice voting, we hold our nose and vote Democrat to reduce how big of a shaft is rammed into our minority friends and family.

Various trade wars are changing those economics.
