F*** Russell Brand. Anybody who encourages young people to NOT vote can go to hell

131. But the OP's own sigline promotes George Carlin, who very famously told Americans this:

“I don't vote. Two reasons. First of all it's meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. The shit they shovel around every 4 years *pfff* doesn't mean a fucking thing. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around – they say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain', but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.”
George Carlin

So the Original Post is a snapshot of the Centrist way. He is angry that a comic say he does not vote while also desiring hipster points by promoting another comic who says he does not vote. One comic is told to go to hell, the other is treated as if he were a font of eternal wisdom. Buttering the bread on both sides, Centrist style. It is very hard to fathom.
