#BernieOrBust2020

[Brian37]

People are free to do whatever they want, including not vote. I just don’t want to hear their bitching after the fact, when Trump wins again.

We still have a right to bitch if we don't vote. I really dislike it when people say that, as if I have to eat a shit sandwich without complaint because I didn't vote the way they wanted me to. Fuck that. I'm a citizen no matter which clown is in the White House, and I'll bitch or praise all I want. You do you. How everyone else votes isn't really anyone else's business.

True, it is certainly true, that you can partake or not. That is certainly part of freedom.


My late mother was a mostly 99% lifetime voting Republican, I am a democrat. We had nothing in common politically. If anyone were to pick on her, even a liberal, they would get a mouthful from me.

But we are not talking about politics as normal. 

You can argue that it was too far after the fact for Mitt to vote to convict. You can argue that the likes of Joe Walsh, John Kashish, Joe Scarborough, James Comey and Michael Steele  all have turned on the republican party. 

Even if you don't vote, YES, it is your right to bitch. I agree. But what are the consequences for sitting it out at this point in time. It isn't enough to say you don't like Trump. You are a citizen, regardless of party. Nobody should argue you are not. 

But again, we are NOT dealing with politics as normal. 

It should scare any sane person, regardless of party, left, right, neutral or swing voter, that we now have an authoritarian mindset looking for blind loyalists who has made every attempt to purge dissent. That is not good for a free society, regardless of the party one may lean to.
