Makes it really difficult to get up the enthusiasm to vote when it’s all shit in some way or another, but it’s important to remember that not all shits are created equal. I will without doubt pick the shit that is just old and shitty over the one that is old, shitty, and actively trying to destroy democracy in the US.
get up the enthusiasm to vote
fucking gross.
It’s your goddamn duty as a citizen, it’s not going to see your favorite show. If you have to ‘get up the enthusiam’ to simply FUCKING VOTE… then you really must not care about the path this country takes. If you did, you would vote every time with fervor knowing you are helping to safeguard the country/state/city and its associated future.
with that said, I’m glad you say you will absolutely be voting, so props. I just think it is disturbing how many think about voting the way you do and more disturbing is that even more don’t and don’t vote at all
I vote for the other stuff; this post and the thread to which I replied is talking about the two options we have for president.
I’d be more enthusiastic about voting in the presidential election if it made a difference. I don’t live in a swing state; my state is all but guaranteed to go to Biden in November. My vote counts for a fraction of someone in a different state, which just furthers the notion that it’s a pointless gesture.
But do be disturbed. It should be disturbing that a growing number of people feel the way I do. That isn’t just reflective of us; it’s reflective of the broken system. Maybe try directing some of your disgust in that direction instead of just patronizing someone on the internet.
