Yeah I know it's stupid to say it again but Russian bots and children buying their rhetoric can actually leave the room and still please fucking vote actually if you have the right

Crazy to say but, when it's a right that we're still working on getting imprisoned people to have, I don't think it's a very Hot Take to say it's useless. Sorry, maybe crazy of me, but I'm one of those people who would've been lobotomized before getting my right to vote in The Olde Days and I think maybe we ought to consider whose agenda we're endorsing by discouraging The Literally Bare Minimum Of Civic Engagement for your average Joe or Jane

#maybe instead of discouraging everyone else from voting you should find an outlet in your community that allows you to affect needed change #it grows from the grassroots up in this case because the system is broken #I'm not trying to espouse that the federal government is good actually #I'm trying to espouse that there's more to voting than just Who Is “The Leader of the 'Free' World”#voting is literally the bare minimum of engaging in your own community on a civic level #and maybe i am brainwashed #but I'm the socialist leaning douchebag that has still voted in every single local election since i came of age because i was aware that #voting isn't just President #it's judges and DA and fucking City Council and Education Board #and often the environmental Protection or similar group that's affiliated with the city #you can draw a dick over both Kamala and Trump's names as far as I'm concerned or fuck nominate Dick Dixon for president #but that's so far from the only thing we're talking about when we discuss voting and elections and it's #really it's negligence bordering on malignancy to claim that Not Voting is A Good Thing #the only people to whom that might apply are people like my father who fell into QAnon Lite and never quite left it #and i can assure you he and all of his ilk Will be voting #go ahead apathetic and negligent is a hot look when you have the privilege to not care
