    It’s kind of a pain, especially in certain districts in red and purple states where they make it intentionally hard to vote… but for the vast majority of non-voters, either they just don’t care or they think it won’t make a difference who they vote for.

    It’s as much a mind game as a foot game.

      I’d love to go back to not caring about politics. I’d love to go back to never wondering if the surgeon general has ever practiced medicine in thier life.

        That’s how it got into this position in the first place, casual disinterest in the mechanisms of the government.

          You can give trump credit for that. He certainly got me interested in politics.

          Before he ran for president I was a fan of trump. I also work in sales and at that time I thought he was a great bullshit artist. I had trump vodka, I went to his casino. I was a fan.

          When he said he was running for president I thought it was halarious. I thought about running myself just so I could say “high I’m Micheal former presidential candidate for the Republican 2020, 2024, and 3056. I’d like to order the chicken quesadilla with cinimon twists and a Baja blast thank you”

          My point is I was on board for the silly mess but I voted for Hilary obviously. Who would ever let a bullshit artist run a country!

          I love bugs bunny, would I give him nuclear bombs? Absolutely fucking not. If you made me president I’d remove Fluoride from the drinking water and add cocaine. Maybe don’t vote for me and I probably should never be rich or powerful.

          Trump was like “why not be president “ and that’s when I was like “no bro… if you bullshit your way thru a presidency people are gonna get hurt”

          You don’t give bugs bunny executive privilege and law making abilities.

          TLDR: Donald trump is a joke I found funny before he started running for political office.
