I've not missed a single vote since I'm 18yo, but I understand people who are too fed up to go vote, sadly...
You understand idiots who are giving the game away because not getting a unicorn out of it makes them amgy?
You can be frustrated, but if you then choose not to vote you're just feeding the problem out of spite.
It doesn't matter how frequently someone votes, if they don't fake an orgasm at the prospect of their choices being shit and worse shit, some centrist will lecture them anyway.
You sound like some who has never voted.
Last time, I forced myself to vote for Mister Money-for-the-rich despite the fact I hate everything he wrote in his program, I thought I was doing the right thing by participating to "blockade" Miss Nazis-did-nothing-wrong.
Well, just a few months later, it was the elections for parlement représentants and the winning president and his "Party of rich", they just fucked all of us right up in any circonscriptions they got eliminated, they just stated publicly "don't vote for the commies ! They are a danger for the democracy ! (Vote for the Nazis instead, we like their ideas better, but you didn't hear it from me lol".
Now we have Mr Money-for-the-rich as president and Party of rich has the most sits (but no majority) and they are the danger for democracy as every time they fail to vote a law they proposed to fuck us deeper (despite getting help from all the racists on the right side of the room), they use a loop-hole to make it law without vote.
So, yes. I understand someone who doesn't want to get up and queue 2 hours on a Sunday morning to go vote for a person who will ultimately humiliate you at every occasion he has.
You sound like someone who doesn't have any skin in the game if the Nazis actually win by voting when you didn't.
Lemme guess, you're someone who twists with fury whenever Americans point out the Roma situation when you talk about how not racist Europe is compared to America because, "that's different they deserve that!"
I get it, you and other non voters aren't idiots, you're the white communists who knowingly gave up the names of French Arab resistance leaders to the Nazis as the front line began to push back towards Germany again because nobody but you is allowed to control the "we kept out the Nazis" field.
You might be projecting yourself a little bit too much here, my friend. I am a voter, I never missed a vote in my life since I am 18yo. And I don't know what you're on about with your 4-chan copy-pasta.
I understand it, but it's still pretty dumb.
People whine (rightly) about money in politics. You know what that money is used for? Propaganda and media and campaign staff to get votes.
