You do realize there's nothing responsible or ethical with doing nothing.

Even though I was slightly joking before, I don't disagree here. I won't say that people who didn't vote are entirely responsible but they are at least not allowed to complain about the outcome if they didn't do anything to avoid it. That's my thought anyway.

If you feel that you're voting for evil then maybe you should do something other than vote. Voting is such an infinitesimally insignificant thing to do that for people to think that it somehow means they've done something constructive is both delusional and narcissistic. You put in the minimum amount of effort in a situation that you must recognize requires more than that and then you consider yourself better than Frown, Dwn, OH, and me? Get ****ed. Do something more or accept that you are doing so little as to constitute doing nothing. Write your ****ing congressman or stump for Bernie or maybe even join a militant radical party of nutbars. Anything. You don't get credit for buying into the nonsense that your vote matters just so you can spend the other 99.999999% of your life twiddling your thumbs with a clear conscience.

Yeah, I don't vote either. **** that ****.
Although our two main parties are much more similar than yours.
But even the small ones are all retarded. The leftists have a few good people but are overall mostly shouty libtard ****s who drown the good ones out.

We need to burn the banks to the ground and start over. It's the only way.

Fuck that. That's public property. It would only hurt the wallet of the tax-payers. But I get your sentiments. We need to go to the root of the problem: the corrupt law makers and bankers. Bomb their homes instead.

Yup, and thanks for the PM. 5 weeks ago would have been a completely different story. The last RV park I was in is smack dab in the middle of the fire zone.
