the pro-voting folks

I beg of you to go live in a society which doesn't have voting in its government. Just for like a short time. It's incredibly instructive, and will give a reality-check to this idea that you seem to have that things are so bad right now that there's not even any point in choosing a better future or a worse one. Things may or may not be better with Biden, but they will absolutely be much, much worse with Trump.

I shouldn't have said "pro-voting." I'm pro-voting. I think we should be voting for our bosses. I just think that this system makes voting pretty ineffective.

But it's an election year, and nobody's allowed to dissent in an election season or they're Russian plants so I'll just shut up and feel completely alienated from the people who live around me, and now everyone on the Internet.

Just like every other election year.

Sometimes people are going to disagree with you, when you post opinions on the internet. It is ok; it doesn't mean we're against you.

Not against. Alien. Like everybody loses their damn minds every four years.

Nothing makes me feel less like an American than an election.
