    Every election is “the worst election ever where we need everyone to come together and support our hand-picked candidate against their hand-picked candidate”. When do you get to vote your conscience?

    When do I vote in a manner representative of who I am as a minority?

    When will the ship not be sinking so I can choose someone who actually represents me?

    Why is it my responsibility to vote for you when you don’t care about me?

    “I know we didn’t do anything for you again these past 4 years, but if you don’t get behind us then it’s going to be bad!”

    It already is bad. If you don’t realize that you sound like the privileged one.

        “When do I get to think about me when I vote?”

        “Stop thinking about just yourself and think about other people.”

        Are you even paying attention to the conversation or am I trying to reason with a recording? Is it any wonder why I don’t feel heard time and time again to the point where I don’t want to do what I’m told?

        It’s zero sympathy. I have a duty to get shafted by the political system again for the promise that someday, somehow, something will work out for me.

        No thanks, friend.

            You are a microcosm representing exactly how the Democratic party is treating me. No interest in asking what I want. No drive to sympathize. Just demand, demand, demand. The liberals in here are so beautifully reflected in you, demonstrating the same lack of motivation to engage beyond name-calling, coercion and, in some cases, internet tough-guy posturing.

              So a couple of things. I’m not a Liberal, not even close. Secondly I’m also not American so I’m not looking at this through the narrow lens of your conservative government. Thirdly, when did I name call, coerce or Internet tough-guy posture?

              You will reap what you sow I guess. The rest of the world thanks you for Trump again.
