(3,747 posts)You're the first person I've ever considered putting on ignore. Fuck your ignorance. Some of us care one hell of a lot. I got off my ass and got my friends to vote. I did phone banks for ballot measures up here in Washington. I worked this year, and I voted, and I voted Dem.
Yeah, a ton of millenials sat out. You want to know why? Every damn one that I talked to that I couldn't convince to vote didn't vote because they had no one to vote for. They told me they wanted to vote. They said they would love to vote. But when it's a choice between the slow road vs falling straight into hell, they refuse to take part in it. I convinced some, but the ones I couldn't cited having no progressive candidates as the reason for not voting. Yeah, it's stupid. It's unreasonable. But maybe if Dems weren't actively fucking over my generation, they would vote for them. (And yeah. I know Republicans would be worse. Who gives a shit.)
So screw that. Sitting it out with TV and Doritos my ass. What a stupid, useless comment.
