    And you know who doesn’t vote? The other type of simpleton who swallows that other cherry-picking lie, over and over and over again: bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe.

    Well, they are over here… and I do vote, just scratch out everyone.

      If you don’t vote for anything, you aren’t actually voting, just wasting time. No one cares that there’s a spoiled ballot. It has 0 impact.

        It has 0 impact in the US maybe. Here, my vote might get snatched by one party or the other… I wouldn’t like that to happen, thank you very much.

            Laugh all you like, it’s reality over here. There is vote snatching every election, dead people voting, abroad voters voting here (locally)… this is not the US 🤷.

                  That’s like ten to thirteen countries depending on your definition so can you be more specific?

                    No, I would rather keep that to myself. I think you get the idea though (it’s a plaugue in almost any Balkan country).

                    I could share that info in private if you’d like.

      Not voting signals to politicians that they don’t need to care about your vote or you in general.

        Really? I thought it signalled that I don’t like either of the choices 🤔… maybe get them thinking about the representatives they select to put on the voting lists.

          They only care about appealing to people who they know vote. Your silent protest is very easy to ignore.

            If there were more silent potesters, you would think they’d actually wonder why that is happening 🤔.

              No they’d just be happy that there’s less people they have to convince to vote for them. Less people voting means it’s easier to pass policies that enrich them. You aren’t doing some meaningful protest, you’ve removed yourself from the conversation.

              There’s tons of money in seeding voter apathy and people like you are why. They get you to remove your own voice and make you think you’re hurting them and not yourself.

                I am not hurting myself, it doesn’t make the slightest difference to me if one party or the other wins. I just don’t want my vote stolen, I’d rather it burned.

                In the end, it’s my vote… the same as the hillbilly with down syndrome. If he can choose, so can I.

                  No one’s saying you can’t do anything. I’m simply explaining that your “protest” is ignorable at best and actively beneficial to the people you hate at worst.

                    Well, IDC to be honest, as I said, it doesn’t make any difference to me who wins. I just don’t like either party stealing my vote, that’s all.
