The us has been voting blue until it was blue in the face for the last thirty years and we still ended up with red leges, and red presidents, and a red court. Right now, when some blue happens to win the reds immediately get to work to strip those new officials of all power - because We The People clearly voted wrong. I get that some people may actually live in properly functioning communities (or countries) but can we at least have the grace to step back and see that whatever situation that is, it's not representative of the overall situation of voting in the us? Hell, not even the reds are getting what they vote for. Ask em.
I'd die for any of you fuckers, lol, but I don't play this voting charade either - and my not voting in these elections is completely inconsequential. It's not what elects the trumps, it doesn't have anything to do with my (or anyone elses) rights....and since we're talking about rights, doesn't a guy have the right to opt out of the game? Maybe, IDK..maybe, if the blues stopped trying to appeal to the reds and olds by shitting on progressives and the young...I'd vote for them. Maybe, IDK maybe, if they stopped presenting themselves as the punching bag for the democrat facesmasher 3000 I'd vote for them.
...but they won't...so I don't.
That won't save you, or him. Abdication rarely seizes power. Suicide rarely grants life. If you choose not to decide, you've still made a choice.
