        Oh, please stfu. No one is oppressing you or the idiots with this same rhetoric. You motherfuckers and trumpers have a lot of things in common but the one that stands out the most is the victimization.

          Democracy is quite literally random armchair quarterbacks deciding what to do as a team.

          Their opinion is literally the entire game.

              “It’s not important what you think, but if you don’t decide biden is better we’ll all lose”

              Maybe things would be better if only the reasonable adults voted? Maybe only white land owners, even, because clearly all these delusional normies are gonna ruin our election.

              Democracy means (i guess in theory, though i think it’s at least the ideal) everyone’s opinion matters the same amount. You’re right though, we’re not voting for individual policies (that’d be a lot better here), so instead your candidate needs delusional citizens like myself to think well enough about him to pick him, or anyone at all

            What about signing things and going on-site and reading reports and calling people and agreeing to things and showing up at the deal in a suit so everyone can ask questions and buying the ad space and renting a place in DC and eating takeout while discussing amendments and questioning the sheriffs and consoling people in the district and speaking in favor of courageous people?

            Or is - it’s just opinions? Dang that’s pretty magical.
