    But guess what? All you can do is vote.

    What are you talking about? Voting is the very least you can do. Get active. Contact your representatives. Take to the streets in protest. Stand up for something. You call him a defeatist and then say there’s nothing more to do.

    Take your own advice and get off the internet and do something that helps you. Hoping the Repubs consume themselves doesn’t do shit. That’s not an ‘optimistic’ view. It’s a lazy and cowardly one.

          You didn’t answer mine either. I voted. I’ve got a family to raise, hobbies, and a job. I don’t have time to protest in the streets. I’ll leave that for you. Occupy Wallstreet seemed to work last time, right!?

            The discussion was about your claim that voting was all you could do, which is strange for a self-professed optimist to say. You responded with whataboutism. This conversation is over.
