You mad because I won't vote for who you want?
You'll only vote for someone if they're exactly perfect for you with no consideration for how it may affect others who will be vulnerable if team Satan wins.
You're a little princess and there is a pea under your mattress. You cry about how uncomfortable it is and how you can't possibly sleep.
I vote for what's in my best interest not yours, you're team, or whatever YOU say I should care about. And who said anything about perfection? Now you're just making shit up and being angry about the shit you just made up. Time for you to accept that things just won't go your way.
That's exactly right, you you you you you. You're selfish and don't care about trans people or gay people who will be kicked off their spouses healthcare when they get rid of gay marriage.
You'll sit around looking smug as they strip away protections for black people and start mass deportations. 'Should've picked Bernie' you'll say 'I'd have lifted my finger and done the bare minimum of they'd have catered to my preference exclusively'
The rest of us are doing our best to ensure the best possible outcome from the options life has given us. You're a spoiled baby, too rich and comfortable in your upper-middleclass life to give a fuck about anyone other than yourself.
I thought I was clear when I said I won't vote for that prosecutor and I won't vote for Trump.
Yes, that was understood. And just like people staying home during gore v bush got us Iraq and people staying home during clinton v trump ended national abortion access — if this election goes the wrong way you'll share equal responsibility with all the chuds.
And just what exactly is "the wrong way"? I bet that "wrong way" is if things don't go the way YOU want. Do you think I care about what you want? I'll vote for who and what I want not what you want.
I literally just described it in the above comment but engaging on that level for you is impossible, so better instead to pretend what's upset my is that you're not voting for my team — rather than that you're sitting out of an election when trans rights, gay marriage, war with Iran, and fucking democracy are on the line.
Let me sum it up:
I'm a good person because I will do the bare minimum of harm reduction necessary to keep vulnerable people safe every 2 or so years.
You're a bad person because you won't.
Oh so I'm a bad person because I won't vote the way YOU want? That's all you got? You want me to be the bad guy? Say hello to the bad guy.
You're also dumb
He's mad because voting for a third party in our electoral system is effectively a vote for the party most opposed to your interests, particularly if you're registering a "protest vote" against the party most aligned with your interests. It's not our fault it's just the system.
This is how I know you're full of shit. You think you know where my interest are when I never said what they were. And you're using the same old tactic of arguing that "voting third party is the same as voting for the other party". No it isn't. If I wanted to vote for the other party then I would. You seriously came out here talking about some "the party most aligned with your interests" when you have no fucking clue what my interests are. You are all full of shit.
You talk to your mother with that mouth? Jeez you must be a real treat
