Joking aside, I needed to be better at getting my friends to vote at all. They were abstaining out of protest and I just couldn't get through. It was tough and it's enraging to see them go "I told you so".

Well, it's too late now. They'll "never have to vote again."

Idk if you know these kinds of people, but some of the arguments I heard were "democracy isn't at stake because we don't have one to begin with, Dems and GOP are two heads of the same snake". I honestly am reconsidering one of my friendships because when I mentioned I have a degree in political science, she told me people with degrees are brainwashed by the corporate education system. It really freakin' hurt to hear that.

Those aren't your friends, they're Nazi sympathizers.
