Nice of you to assume people who vote don't do anything else to improve things.
How will you look back on whatever you're doing right now if you, and people like you, don't vote and lead to Trump winning? All that work for nothing because you refused to do the one thing that could help everything else you're trying to do.
I didn't say that, where did I say anything like that? Why are you trying to villainize me? I want other people to get involve as badly as you want me to vote, is the point I'm trying to make. Save your shame and fear. Try talking to me like a person and not, I don't know, whatever demon you're trying to make me out to be
That's exactly what you said
"I'll vote if you do more than just vote."
You're implying that you know they don't do more than vote and that implies you assume the same thing of anyone that votes.
That's an incredibly dim interpretation. I just don't like being constantly lectured to about voting. It is completely valid to criticize this crappy system and yeah I think its okay to suggest that people do a little more than just vote every 2-4 years.
It seems like people aren't getting as upset at the idea that I might not vote, as they are at the suggestion that there is some alternative to it, that democracy can be more than voting for one of two deeply corrupt candidates who uphold a deeply corrupt system. I will vote, because its easy.
