      I like it. It’s a digital dunce cap and makes it really easy to focus my attention on better things.

            OK, so you take issue with being called Russian?

            If you want to be less exhausted, just spend less time burning accounts trolling.

            I’ll believe you aren’t Russian, but maybe if you didn’t troll so often and call for violence so often it wouldn’t come in to question.

            Common talking points for online Russian troll accounts trying to influence the elections are “your vote doesn’t matter”, “both sides are the same, so why vote”, “this politician isn’t 100% ideal, so you shouldn’t vote for them or it’s the same as condoning whatever”.

            While I agree that there’s A LOT to be desired in the current political system and there’s certainly a lack of actually good candidates, voting is extremely important. Voting isn’t the only action you should take to affect change, but it is an important first step, and one everyone should be a part of.

                I mean, what’s your alternative plan of action? Bitch about it online because there isn’t a perfect solution gift wrapped and ready?

                Wish for the end of the current system while contributing nothing of consequence yourself?

                You can wish in one hand and shit in the other, let me know which one fills up first.

                    That’s my point man. If you’re not a Russian troll bot, then you’ve certainly eaten the propaganda.

                    You’re just gonna sit there on your ass and keyboard and do nothing. What’s even worse is while you advocate violence, you yourself are unwilling to get your own hands dirty, instead relying on riling up others in the hopes some revolutionary Messiah appears to deliver you. And this is assuming you’re actually American.

                    I’d have a modicum of respect for you if you actually got up and fought for what you proselytize rather than waiting for someone else to take the first step.
