I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

It really does baffle me that some people think a lack of an effort will bring about change.

Removing your support from a party you previously supported is an effort to bring about change. Evidenced by the democrats trying to figure out how to get people to vote for them again.

I bet you think divorce is a bad thing too.

Divorce isn’t something from nothing, so I’m not too sure what that false equivalency is supposed to do for you.

You cannot expect action from inaction.

Its the same type of situation: would you make the best of a bad situation or blow it up? Would you vote for the lesser evil or abstain/vote third party?

Voting for the lesser evil is a no brainer considering the threat America faced. In better times, I’d absolutely agree with the ideology.

Now is not those times.

Well with all the dramatic news stories and comments, you'd think the country already was burned to the ground. I'm getting exhausted of people jumping to conclusions and claiming what they think the consequences will be is a simple fact. Especially absurd when Trump changes his public opinions near daily.

I guess you never just ignored a toddler... lots of action comes from that inaction.

How are you enjoying the divorce so far? Got what you wanted out of it?

[–] Rekorse 5 points 1 month ago (17 children)

It wasnt a personal reference. The point I'm making is that it tends to be overwhelmingly bad relationships end in divorce, as they should. It would be awful if people were forced to stay in bad situations like that.

The democrats have a horrible relationship with their party members, and so many chose divorce, rightly so.

Well the DNC is now forced to either pull their collective head out their ass or destroy themselves in spite. We'll see how it goes.
