      Yeah the difference is the people who vote for Trump will kill me with their vote out of stupidity, and/or maliciousness. Those who do not vote will kill me simply to feel superior to those who vote.

        They are privileged to not need a sense of urgency or get respite. Its easy to keep your sense of purity and wait around when your not under siege.

          Yup, the “none of this will get worse FOR ME” crowd who dismiss the idea that everything else will be worse, likely even the situations they “care” about, but they aren’t actually affected by. No sense of harm reduction when the harm isn’t upon you, yet.

              it’s nice that other people’s voting habits aren’t going to literally kill you. Have fun on that high horse, I am sure slowly, and painfully, dying, was worth your sense of superiority. Though, I doubt you believe this is a fatal turn of events for me. Privilege blinds people.

                  I just like telling people what their decisions do to others, so I will do it as much as I see fit. I also see that you keep interacting, funny for someone who doesn’t want to hear what I have to say. The reality is if anyone stops this new bill from killing me, it will be democrats, and then I will literally have had my life saved by that party, while the no vote protest just calls me, and everyone in my position, things like tosser, and disregards our lives, and loses support. 14 million people will die in the next 6 years because of the bill decisions like your brought about.

                  No raindrop wants to be blamed for the flood, but they are all equally guilty.

                    Your hypothetical isn’t the reality. Laws aren’t real. A bill is words. Capitalism enslaves us all with no regard for your heath and safety. Everything you seem to be saying is to defend the system killing you and relying on it to stop working as intended. This isn’t news to me. And you don’t know about any of my decisions but if you can count on me voting my conscience from here on out and if you need my vote to survive your candidate should align with that. That’s on you. I’ll die with you for my beliefs the time for compromise has passed. Best of luck, Citizen.✊🏿🏴
