    I vote now.

    I don’t think I was selfish before … Just ignorant and/or sheltered.

    I don’t think I disagree with your point, but the messaging is unlikely to convert many non voters.

    • I’m just yelling at the choir on Lemmy, I believe. With my actual friends, especially married ones with daughters who say this stuff, I approach it differently. “You always tell me you disdain deadbeat dads, but not voting is another form of failing your daughter. You should be a champion for her rights man, not sitting on the sidelines trying to play nice with ‘both sides.’”

      tbf, if they’re on a politics com and bragging about not voting, chances are that they’re pretty far from where you were at if you were just ignorant and/or sheltered.

        Well… You’re not wrong.
