    If you REALLY want to receive some righteous hate, criticize the people who boycotted voting because none of the choices measured up to their standards. People will defend the moral correctness of refusing to vote more than they’ll defend their right to vote.

      The right to vote doesn’t mean anything if the choices are all awful. This last election was literally “Vote for genocide” or “Vote for (maybe) slightly less genocide”.

      It seems that liberals will defend any atrocity their leaders commit more than they’ll defend people simply not supporting atrocities.

      Most states were really spoiled for choices that election, too. I think that there were a dozen candidates on my ballot!

      If you don’t like either R or D, then don’t vote for them. Vote for somebody else. If everybody who didn’t vote had voted for an alternative or independent candidate instead, that would’ve been HUGE.
