Repost from my friend John O...
"if you are one of those people who think that both major political parties in the USA are "exactly the same" I'm here to tell you that you are not only an uninformed idiot, but that you are making sure we never get out of this Republican hellhole we are in.
I have tried to tell these fucking fools that there are major differences between the parties but they come back with their Russian ideas about things. Look, Democrats aren't trying to deny science and limit our access to our government paid scientists' information. They aren't doing their best to destroy public schools. They aren't trying to limit women's rights, they are trying to expand them.They aren't jailing children, denying them food and medicine, and ripping apart their families just to scare others into staying away. Plus a ton of other important issues that they are diametrically opposed to the Republicans about.
I usually try to talk to these bumpkins without offending them, try to point out these differences and I am met with the buffoon's responses. Things like "They all take money from the rich" and "you have no proof of that".
If you don't vote, you are a tool of the powers that want you to not vote. We can see what happens when people like Trump or Bush get in office, they run wild and have a lot of support from bought-off Senators and Congresspeople. We are in a crisis in this country, on the edge of becoming a fascist/totalitarian state like China or Russia. Voting for those who will put on our chains is nuts.
In conclusion, if you are not going to vote, please shut up about anything to do with the process. If you aren't involved, don't have an opinion beyond "I give up". Ya morons."
