It’s just uncomfortable.

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.

If one truly believes the most winnable candidates are so bad neither deserves their vote, that is an important statement too. If I were in a swing state I’m sure I would have agonized more but don’t think my vote would have changed.

If yo were in a swing state and your vote wouldn’t have changed, you would have been one of the people responsible for our current president.

And if you think either would have been equally bad, sounds reasonable.

I think we’re all responsible in a way.

I’m not. My vote doesn’t mean jack shit. I thought I made that clear. Hillary, the electoral college, the lying media, and Trump supporters are responsible for electing Trump.

It’s not really about mfm himself not voting, but him being a part of a massive group (perhaps majority) of non-voters who could together make real change if individually could be convinced to vote.

This is a bad line of reasoning. First of all, I hated our candidates. Yes, Hillary would’ve been infinitely better than Trump but I hate a lot of what she stands for and plus she and her DNC cronies cheated at every turn. Voting for her would’ve been selling out and degrading and disgusting to me. Also, I don’t like the idea that we just need more people to vote. Most people shouldn’t be voting. Most people are really dumb. What if someone who isn’t voting would vote for a really horrible candidate like Trump? I definitely don’t want them to vote. Basically, if you don’t vote, you’re a problem. If you vote your conscience and vote for a third party, you’re a problem too. You can’t win in people like Frink’s eyes unless you lower yourself to voting for the lesser of two evils. Staying inside and relaxing after another long and shitty day at a shitty job is more appealing to me than pointlessly participating in whatever passes for democracy in this country.

I don’t even see the appeal of it.

I don’t think so. I mean, I liked Bernie more than Hillary, but I think most of America would have seen him as some fringe commie, so I don’t think either Dem could have beat Trumpy.

I disagree about Bernie. I think he had a very good chance of winning, but the DNC wanted Hillary and pushed the “he can’t win” narrative until everyone believed it, at which point it became true.

I don’t think Bernie could have won.

The caveat is I didn’t think Trump could win and he did, what the hell do I know? But he would have been painted as the mayor of crazytown who wanted to give all your money away.

Maybe I should say I don’t think he would have had any better chance than Hillary did.

Bernie had a lot of progressive supporters that refused to support Hillary once he was out, though. I dunno. We’ll never know for sure.

They actually followed their consciences.

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

You’ve certainly wasted your time each election day.

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 should say that it doesn’t mean anything rather than that it doesn’t count. And it doesn’t mean anything. This country is great, I won’t deny that, but it’s elections are a sick joke.

That Stones cover makes me uncomfortable and I want it deleted!

I actually have a couple copies of it, including one with the original zipper on the cover.

People conflate the book with the movie, probably assuming that because the latter is a masterpiece that the original story must be too. It’s not even all that similar to the movie’s plot. I’ve not met many people that have actually read it.

A few but nothing big like Star Wars.

Teen Wolf

I will admit that I don’t like small talk with strangers.

What’s that mean?

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

Yep, the animals are great.

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

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.

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.

The Lion King remake is “highly anticipated”?

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.

No, but I pictured myself alone in a giant, endless field surrounding me on all sides. That sounds almost relaxing.

That sounds almost relaxing.

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.

It certainly was very funny.

I’m not, but voting doesn’t mean anything in my state. It’s just a waste of time.

I don’t think many people had lawns back in ancient Israel.
