    Not at all. If I’m wrong I like being corrected. (Hence why I said I need to read up on it, which maybe you skipped?)

    For the most part I appreciate AOC, at least rhetorically (because too much of the time she’s voted with the genociders), but at the same time I’m not a mind reader nor omniscient. Definitely not apathetic either, but also not a political junkie.

    So maybe stop wagging the finger and pushing away voters who might actually support your side if you weren’t such an insufferable jerk.

      If the reason someone doesn’t support my side is because I am a little bit mean, then they were not ever on my side to begin with.

        If being an asshole is so important to you that you’d drive away people who support your side, you’re the problem. Not them.

        Grow up and be a reasonable person. “Support me even though I obviously hate you” is an absurd way to approach people if you honestly expect to create change.

      You’re the one pushing people away. You made a comment, with the intent to make people not vote, with less than accurate information. I don’t care to push you away, if you’re already away to begin with. I care to make you not push others away.

      Its impossible to know if someone is genuine or not, but there are a lot of trolls (and it’s only going to get worse) specifically trying to make people not vote. I can’t know if you honestly believe what you said or not, but you’re functionally the same as a troll trying to spread voter apathy.
