In reply to the discussion: Young people don't vote when the people they would vote for are continually bashed. [View all]Sheldon Cooper
(3,724 posts)24. You can call it whatever you want.
But it would be a cold day in hell before I'd voluntarily stop myself from voting because of something I saw on twitter or facebook or what the fuck ever.
People are being disenfranchised against their will all over the place and because someone got their nose out of joint over social media, for christ fucking sake, they're staying home from the polls??? What a big steaming pantload.
You can take your right to vote seriously and exercise it, or stay home and point the finger at everyone but yourself. The choice is yours.

So, you would disenfranchise yourself because someone on the internet hurt your feelings?

Maybe they didn't vote because no candidate stood for anything they would vote for.

Insulate them from mean words, and make it possible to vote on Twitter.
