eldavi comments on Kamala Harris polls 20 points ahead of Trump in voters age 18-34

the entirety of my response is summed up by practicing empathy for other people and it's clear you lack that empathy from your response.

i recommend that you give empathy a try to help dislodge your callousness so that things can improve for humanity.

This isn't the god damn care bears. Empathy is not going to fix this problem. Voting is the only thing that will. If pointing that out makes me an asshole then I'll happily accept that label. It's better than whatever fatalistic psychotherapeutic nonsense you're trying to peddle. Actions solve problems, not good vibes. Pull your head out of your ass.

empathy is just the start; it'll help you realize why things are fucked and you can take meaningful action from there.

i used to be like you and it wasn't until the anti-gay, anti-immigrant and anti-student laws fucked my life hard that i developed that sense of empathy that i'm imploring you to develop before things get worse for all of us.

Empathy is not the important bit, the action is. That's what I'm talking about but you're just virtue signaling.

To illustrate the point I'll concede to your argument. Empathizing with people who have trouble voting is step one of fixing the problem. Great, now what's step two? Tell me it's not finding a way to get people to vote to change the system that's disenfranchising them, which is exactly what I've been saying. You're getting stuck on how people feel about things when that's a secondary issue at best.
