I don’t have empathy for people who don’t vote.
Then you ignorantly don't have empathy for those that have been systematically disenfranchised by strict GOP-led voter laws, gerrymandering, and oppression. You could get angry about people voting for the GOP. You could get angry about idiots parting ways with their money to donate to super pacs. You could get angry about so many other things, but here you are, getting angry because someone online told you to have some empathy for another age group that was disenfranchised.
… I’m not angry at all? No vote, no voice. Sad you aren’t being heard? VOTE! Frankly, I can’t think of a single reason not to vote.
Huh, you sure sounded angry when you double commented and said I insulted you.
I think that might be part of the problem, you can't see the barriers that young people and POC in red states encounter. But just because YOU haven't experienced grappling with disenfranchisement, doesn't mean it isn't there for others. You don't seem to understand that many young people can't vote because of that.
Once again, before you try to move the goal posts once more, the point is that telling disenfranchised people who are not able will not get them on your side and motivate them to get past the cards they have been given. You are being counterproductive to your desire of wanting people to vote when you do that.
I’m definitely in a minority that is being attacked by the right wing, and because of that I understand why voting is important.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO VOTE!
we should stop here. Blocked.
