What are you actually talking about? See, this is the exact disconnect I'm referencing. "Listen to them"? How can I, when they have voluntarily made themselves voiceless. Say what you will about the maga freaks, at least they believe in something and do the bare minimum for their cause by voting.
I completely understand being disillusioned with the election process or even thinking bOtH SiDeS are the same, but... In an election for President, Senators, House and local Representatives, ballot measures, etc, if you're eligible to vote and don't, you're part of the problem. Even if you're okay with the status quo for yourself, children, friends, family, and vulnerable people, you're still taking a large risk in such a close election as it's a transitional time and no one knew what the exact results would be...
I know that's quite a rant. But all I'm really saying is they have no right to complain after sitting on the sidelines when it mattered, and I simply won't listen to a thing they say now...
