It’s true. Why waste my time, stand in line, be out in traffic and surrounded by people when there was a 100% guarantee that Donald Trump’s dumb ass would win my state, especially when the person that is opposing him has a 100% chance of not winning and is a candidate that I find insulting? You can shrug off the fact that our electoral system basically just gives a middle finger to no less than half the country all you want, but I won’t participate in it unless I’m supporting someone who deserves it. If I lived in a state that this country has decided matters, like Florida or something, then I probably would’ve voted for Hillary, but I don’t so I didn’t and the election wouldn’t have turned out any differently if I did.

I don’t even know very many people that vote. This life bullshit is a pretty boring and awful experience so why make it slightly more boring and awful by going to a government building and pretending that our voices matter when they don’t? It’s a sick joke and I don’t know who sickens me more, the people that perpetrate it or the people that accept it.

What? I’m right. If you wasted your time voting in Oklahoma, then you’re the real loser of the 2016 election. Your vote certainly didn’t mean anything and you probably missed a couple Seinfeld reruns.

Most of the characters in it are horrible people, so it probably validates his opinions.

Why is it surprising to find out that someone likes one of the most popular and acclaimed shows ever? And also, I don’t need any damn shows to validate my opinions. If you’ve ever even just spent ten minutes in public you see how awful everything is.

Idk I went to the zoo recently and it was pretty lit, most people I interacted with were nice. But the zoo going population might not be totally representative.

Usually the zoo is full of obnoxious and intolerable folk so that shocks me.

But the animals are pleasant and you can commiserate with them.

Idk nobody was obnoxious while I was there and it was packed. People sure did go through alot of effort pushing strollers down the big hills. Don’t they realize they can just let go and the baby will self propel?

Not as much as this response shocked me.

Im not aware of anyone ever going to the zoo and enjoying the company of the masses.

You are now. Me and my friend only interacted with a couple strangers but they were all pleasant and none of the people we didn’t interact with were being obnoxious or anything.

If there weren’t any other people there, how could you enjoy watching a tiger suddenly deciding to pee on them?

Um. Asking for a friend.

I guess I’m a real loser then, because I’m a Democrat from Oklahoma and I vote.

Voting should be a civic habit; an informed vote is the duty of every citizen of a democracy.

THIS X100000000

“My vote won’t count because I live in Oklahoma” is nonsensical garbage. Do your duty as a citizen of this great country.

I agree on importance of voting, disagree that everybody needs to vote for one of the top two (“winnable”) candidates.

I get it, depends on your state. Which is a great argument against the Electrical College.

And the popular vote total matters when the most insecure person in the world doesn’t get more votes.

He already didn’t get as many votes, so what good would mfm voting have done anyway?
