This is the laziest fucking bullshit excuse every time. Crying up a storm when a fucking literal fascist is on the ticket with an understanding that the guardrails are basically fucking gone and going "Yea, but they didn't give me a reason to go"
Guess what buttercup? You want "action now!" I was trying to drum up action when all that was needed was standing in line for maybe a couple hours and putting your vote in and half these leftists going "We gotta do something!" couldn't be faffed to show up at that line in the sand.
And before "But Biden" or "But Harris", my beating the drum to vote is for your local shit every day where you have FAR MORE control than the DNC but statistics show you probably weren't even aware when these were.
So no... I'm not rallying to y'alls cries because you've proven you'll be fair weather allies at best and probably stay home expecting someone else to save your asses. And when the fire gets tough, those that I know who stayed home can't expect me to lift a finger to help them either because I'll be busy helping those that at least could do the bare fucking minimum to try to course correct instead of just acting smug.
Our society is about to get what it deserves. I feel bad for the 1/3 that did show up and tried. The rest can go to hell for all I care.
