I have a product that I want to sell.
You don't like that product.
I'm at risk of being broke because I don't sell anything.
It's YOUR FAULT because you don't buy what I sell.

I think that's not the way it works.

I think that’s not the way it works.

The fact that you don't see a difference between you as an individual consumer buying a product and we as a society voting together to steer our collective course is a very serious problem.

I didn’t know this sub had a horse in this race! budum tish

But also seriously, i am voting blue as always, because i don’t really have a choice if i want to protect other people i don’t even know.

I really feel voting should be mandatory, with an opt out option on the ballot. Letting people obstruct or dissuade others from the voting booths just causes too many complications for democracy.

So many unheard opinions all because they are too stressed/apathetic/pessimistic to vote, that's not democracy.
