It's intended to be hostile. Maybe you were "being cheeky" (I doubt it) but it doesn't read that way in a text format and a lot of people making those same statements are not. What makes me so upset about this situation is people like yourself not taking it seriously. We are, without hyperbole, looking at an honest to God threat to democracy and you are making if/then statements about your willingness to vote. Trying to shame people into being more politically active is the wrong way to do it.
I am tired of people treating this like it's a game, and I am tired of people being flippant about voting for the lesser of two evils.
