Iron Spike: Way too many church ladies took way too many mace attacks, dog bites, and full-force firehoses to the face for me to ever NOT vote, honestly.

*stares in Negress*

Now to take a big sip of my coffee and read about the history of voter disenfranchisement

Way too many church ladies took way too many mace attacks, dog bites, and full-force firehoses to the face for me to ever NOT vote, honestly.

if voting is too morally grey or difficult im just not quite sure i trust that person to be lead a rebellion

Looooooooooooootta cosplay revolutionaries online these days.

Yeah, if voting for the "lesser of two evils" is too much for them, and they instead want a revolution, I am extremely worried about why the morally fraught choices in *that* scenario don't seem to be as such to them

The political party leadership and entrenched power structures do a lot to keep the will of voters from shaping government policy but staying home on election day isn't sticking it to them it's surrendering to them

Well put

Usually in their Sunday best, too.

I would say mad props to them, but it's really more of raging furious props. Props to them. All respect.

And of course, voting isn't the end all, be all of political action. For this election, I like to think of voting as choosing my opponent for the next four years. I don't like either option, but I'd rather fight the guy upholding status quo than the fascist.
