    I agree that trump is a massive bully. However at this point Democrats are bullies too, even if they aren’t as bad.

    I feel like I’m watching a fight between the rich assholes on the lacrosse team and the slightly less rich assholes in JSA. At the end of the day they both bullied me. The best thing for me to do is just walk away.

    Also, read these comments. Like Jesus Christ if I wasn’t already dead set on my choice I would be now. You’re basically the only comment that actually tried to convince me to change my mind instead of just belittling me, which I do appreciate.

    This isn’t a decision I made lightly. Like I said, I’m a lifelong liberal. When I lived in red states and my vote didn’t matter, I volunteered for ballot initiatives that had a chance of passing. I voted in every election because I think it’s my civic duty to vote. I just can’t anymore. This entire thing is super toxic. It gets worse every year. I don’t want to be associated with any of it.

      Holy shit is this really going to be the new “both sides”?

      “they might be actually attacking people for being different…but Democrats are calling them weird for this. I can’t, in good conscience, vote for Democrats!”

        My decision is a direct result of my fairly unique life circumstances. I don’t think anyone else cares, and I don’t really hold that against them. There are a lot of things wrong with the world, and a lot of different reasons for people to vote a certain way.

          You’re free to vote for whoever you want for whatever reason you want. Everyone else is free to point out how absolutely ridiculous those reasons are, especially when it’s clearly contradictory to what you are claiming to actually care about.

              They’re literally just calling them weird, my man. If this is “needlessly vitriolic” then it might be time to look in the mirror because calling me a bad person is at least as bad as that.
