I do vote and I get worse anyway. And centrist shitheads interpret anything other than performative worship of their garbage party as not voting. You don't hjave to convince me to vote. You're just trying to convince me to shut up. You're getting what you want and you're gloating.
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?
That's a convenient fiction you've concocted to silence valid criticism.
