I voted you fucking little bitch. There's absolutely nothing else I can do. Fuck you, what are you doing that is so much better than what I did? Enlighten all of us.

Did I say you're not meeting your responsibilities?

Just because you're responsible doesn't mean you failed your duty or that you're SOLELY responsible you doofus.

You might want to get that overt hostility and projection checked.

Like you could have custody of a child. You're responsible for him. Doesn't mean you're not being a good dad. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't give a shit if your kid starts wrecking the neighborhood.

Calm the fuck down.

And yes, civic responsibility does go beyond just voting. Like our pervasive attitude as a society that complains about jury duty, or brags about getting out of it. Our duty to challenge our leaders openly.

You voted. Did everyone? How about the primary? You voted in that? Mid terms? Did you go to town halls? Did you campaign for someone? Did you call your representatives? Did you talk to your local community?

This idea that hey I voted, GG, is literally the apathy I'm talking about, and it's not directed at YOU the individual. It's directed at US as a PEOPLE.

The problem with you is your individualistic through and through, very American. And you think hey, if I can't single handedly fix something, there's no reason to expend effort.
