How is that an excuse?

Blaming people for not wanting to pick a lesser bad option. Blaming it on the people who aren’t paying as much attention and don’t see it as a “good” option to take the time to go fight against a system that doesn’t want people to vote at all.

That excuse where you pass the buck to other people despite there being action that can be done on the party side to inspire voters instead of just blame them for shortcomings.

If you play chess but only move a piece every 3rd turn and refuse to accept the opponent is now playing boxing chess instead of playing back or pushing back on the rules you are just making excuses.

I’m not blaming them for not voting, I am pointing out the only people who don’t are the ones who have the luxary to not, the ones who believe whatever outcome won’t actually affect them.

If you feel my statement applies to you, than perhaps it does, but if complaining that you get called a fair-weathered believer in democracy is your biggest issue, it kind of proves my point, does it not?

You aren’t like us.

Yeah people have other reasons to not vote. You are coming from a really different entitled place if you think that’s the only reason people don’t vote.

You are making broad sweeping assumptions that put blame on others only. That’s fucked up. It’s not about me or you but everyone in the room.
