It’s so easy to appear smart when you get to make up all the dumb people that are around you.

It's called a strawman. What I actually have to explain to people is that they should express their dissatisfaction in the primary instead of not voting in the general.

You say that like no new generation to the game ever called the candidates irrelevant white male boomers as an excuse why they don’t vote. And when I say vote, they aren’t talking primaries.

Because it’s been done before has never been an excuse to continue doing something stupid.

Righteousness is not preventing it either. You could take your own advice there.
