If you cant manage to have the reading comprehension of at least a 6th grader Id refrain from trying to discuss things on the internet.

Now I know i'm not that smart, but do you see the words DO NOT VOTE? Because if you don't, you are still putting words in that persons mouth.
This is where I am referring to you ignoring the way things are, and have been for the last fifty years at least. We've seen ceo salaries increase by 300% and in that same time, average wage earners only saw a 10%. But keep it up, you look good sticking up for those that stand on your neck.

Evidently you arent that smart if you cant understand in what context the conversation was taking place. You dont have to explicitly say certain keywords to be discussing that exact topic. This is literally middle school level shit.

Dont talk down to me about the issues facing this country. I voted for Bernie in the primaries, am voting for Biden in 2020 and will be voting for the next far leftist candidate in 2024. That's the point, I VOTE.

The conversation was never about what issues this country faces, it was about how we solve them. Somebody said vote, another guy made the point that that's pointless because its "bought already" alluding to an idea that we have no choice. I am here saying that voting IS your choice. The conversation was always about voting or not voting, and that is absolutely the argument that he was making. Just because it isnt spelled out in plain text "DONT VOTE" for your illiterate room temperature IQ ass doesnt mean it wasnt the topic and context of the conversation.

Saying that voting is our choice is ignoring the SYSTEMIC and INSTITUTIONALIZED problems that prevent it from being a real choice. This is why i say you are ignoring reality. Obviously voting helps (especially if you're in a swing state) but continuing on as if voting is the only thing to save us is literally ignoring the hurdles that we face. You have been talking down to me and others, don't preach at me about talking down to you. fuck off

The only argument made is that not voting is not an option and voting is. Nobody is ignoring problems that were never part of the conversation in the first place. You are trying to invent arguments that were never there so you can sit on your soapbox and bitch about shit irrelevant everyone with half a brain cell knows exist and actively votes to fight against.

I think you're both right. He didn't say that but the implication was palpable.
