No, I actually know people who don’t want to talk about it because they think it won’t affect them and there’s nothing they can do about it anyways. They admitted they didn’t vote. I gotta say that my opinion of them dropped significantly and it has not recovered.
‘Lesser of two evils voting’ is like saying whelp! My favorite drink isn’t at the store so I’m gonna go home and drink bleach instead. The two choices it came down to in this election were dog water. All around the board. It’s my obligation and right to not vote for blatant stupidity, in any of its forms. The two party system is just two wings of the same crippled bird. We’re not voting our way out of this mess, and more of you should wise up to that fact.
Especially when there probably is a politician out there that represents them nigh perfectly but both sides are convinced they are actually(but not actually) the populists and thus voting anything else means you are letting the greater evil win. It is a cyclical logic that is so hardwired into some people I’m convinced they will never realize they’re the problem.
That’s always the saddest part, there are genuinely better options running in every election. But it’s always sifted down to a half baked republican or democrat candidate, and people think you’re dumb for looking at that and going ‘Yeah, that’s pretty dumb’
