How could anyone possibly be
this full of shit?
You mentioned there are checks on Trump taking us to war. There are not. There are checks on him
declaring war. He already promised to blow people up who were giving the finger to our ships in the Middle East. He's already mentioned killing the families of those he deems terrorists. If you think this man-baby wouldn't deploy troops over the stupidest, petty shit, I imagine you haven't been paying attention to anything other than your pretend cocktail parties where some dumbass says some stupid shit that you repeat here as if that's the current sentiment among people in a position to attend cocktail parties. If you don't have empathy for those put in harm's way for the dumbest of reasons, I can't help you.
You talk about Trump like he's the same as Hillary on any social issue. He's not. And if we wins, that would mean the Republicans held the House and the Senate. He would appoint the next Supreme Court Justice and maybe even three. You clearly don't give a fuck about the progress gay people and minorities have made in this country because that shit doesn't affect you personally. And if you don't think Trump would sit back and rubber stamp the most vicious religious "freedom" type laws, I can't help you. If you think the fact that the teeth of the VRA being removed hasn't affected the ability to vote for the people for whom you clearly have no empathy, I can't help you.
The fact that you think voting is solely a selfish act and project that bullshit on me means that I can't help you. Voting for the most powerful person in the world who has the ability to send people to give their lives and who can affect the rights of millions of people in a very real way is not some topic I can step back from and laugh about how none of this shit will affect me because I make money. That is a stupid, selfish, ridiculous, childish, evil approach to
any fucking election.
And the fact that you spend as much time talking about how silly the whole thing is from your forced "outsider" position from which you have some special perspective on the pointlessness of all these silly political games and smugly condescend to those of us who actually care about issues that may or may not directly affect us shows to everyone on this board how full of shit you are. And that is an amazing feat because we already knew that you are mostly fucking full of shit.
So, participate in voting or don't. Keep posting about how nothing will happen of note no matter who wins. No one cares. We all know it's pure bullshit.
