What about seeing this article says, "do not vote," to you. Why would that even cross anyone's mind.

    So it's just impossible for you to answer and you're going to be mean about it and make a joke of me? Cool, so maybe it is a bot thing.

    Historically, Republicans tend to perform poorly when more people vote. So, it's is only natural for some people to think, "it looks like this one is in the bag, there is no need for me to vote. I'll sit this one out."

    I apologize for being mean. I'm just sick of people suggesting that voting doesn't matter or can't make a difference. Ours is not a perfect system but it is the best we have at the moment and if voting didn't matter the Coservative assholes wouldn't be trying to make Democracy as difficult as possible.

    Maybe. or you're into the stuff they say even though it doesn't really make sense in the context at all.

    I can assure you that I am not into the stuff they say.

    Or maybe I am since I'm really not sure what you're talking about.

    I meant like maybe you're okay with the message, so you don't view it critically.

    I'm okay with it too, but it is weird that there's always at least one comment on every post about polls or the election all social media that out of no where says, "don't not vote because of this," when there was not any indication that anyone was going to see the title of the article and say "fuck it, I'm not voting now."
