It’s amusing that you think I haven’t tried this already. I tried it in 2016 with the Bernie Bros, and again in 2020. This year, I say fuck them. I will be voting to save democracy, but I’m done trying to reason with unreasonable children and I’m not about to kiss their smug asses to get them to see part their own ignorance.
You're right that our political situation is frustrating. I feel it too, how many elections can we have where "this is the most important election of our lives"?
That said, I'd encourage you to have empathy for other people, and to consider the possibility that if someone doesn't agree with you, it may not be because they're unreasonable, but because they have different life experiences and perspective than you. If you take that approach you may find people more receptive to your position. (And may get something valuable from their perspective too)
Nope. Not happening. As I said- I e been there already. There’s too much at stake now to give these idiots the patience it would take to eventually get through to them. It’s too late for that. I’ve talked with them, I’vetried reasoning with them. They’re stubborn and willfully ignoring what will be the consequences of their decisions. They’re both and sold into their socialist nonsense and will not listen to anything outside intalling one of their own as president.
They think they know everything and refuse to accept that they’ll be allowing history to repeat itself- and will absolutely refuse to accept the balls when it does. I’ve been though this before.
So… Fuck them. I have no tolerance for willful ignorance.
I primaried for bernie twice and voted for clinton and then biden, your entitlement is so fucking toxic I don't even know where to begin so im just not even going to bother. If trump wins again it should be your wakeup call that you cant just ignore the demands of the left and expect us to show up on election day. It will be the result of your willful ignorance that history repeats itself. Ill be voting for biden despite what an entitled cunt you are, but I have accepted the reality that there can be no meaningful change until boomers enter the next phase of the human life cycle, and guess what young people are all about that socialist nonsense brother. Cheers
If you’re voting then I’m clearly not fucking taking about you, am I? I’m talking about the assholes that are staying home because they’re not getting their way on an issues they didn’t give two shits about until it was trendy to do so.
So you can calm the fuck down and maybe go walk it off. Or you can stick around and keep making everything shout you.
You should really work on your tact, it will serve you in other aspects of your life as well.
As I said already- and I’ll say again for the last fucking time-
I had tact. HAD. I have these idiots all the patience I had. For eight years through two elections. They’re too fucking stupid, and there’s too much at stake to wait it out by coddling and kissing their asses. You get respect when you earn respect and if you’re stating bone and leering trump take America, you are u worthy of respect.
Period.
And you don’t know a thing about me or my life enough to offer any advice on how I should conduct myself. So you can take that bullshit elsewhere.
