    I don’t have an issue with people who won’t vote for a right wing party. I understand the reasoning and am not interested in trying to convince them to vote.

    For myself, I am scared of how much worse things can get. I have lost rights because of Trump’s appointments, but also he would not have been able to do so if Democrats hadn’t enabled him to with their apathy and desire to not solve wedge issues to maintain voter turnout.

    I personally will vote because the amount of effort for me is minuscule and it’s a bit of a Pascal’s wager. Either way, we’re heading towards disaster, but I guess I’m too scared to be the frog jumping out of boiling water into an inferno.

      I think it’s valid to vote if you feel a need to. I’m not gonna tell other people not to vote. It’s your business, and besides, I get the impression that your political involvement doesn’t start and end with voting.

      it’s interesting you bring that up because one of the huge holes in the wager is “what if one of the other religions is right” and we’d all support the fuck out of a vanguard if the FBI took too long to murder it.
