    Okay, so this was about your ego the whole time, got it.

    I one time stood in a line to vote in a caucus primary for over 4 hours. We were crammed in a gym because turnout was so unexpected and huge, and it took another 2 hours once everyone was inside to actually finish voting. People who were disabled had to leave because they couldn’t physically endure the voting process. People in wheelchairs had to leave - couldnt get off their ass ig, like you said. Laziness, that classist ableist chestnut. People who had kids and jobs also had to leave because they literally didn’t have alternatives and could not afford alternatives. Lazy parents and workers.

    And then you blame the people who were victims of this? Just because you enjoy feeling superior? Really helpful for your cause

    It’s not about your entitlement to their actions or the public’s entitlement to someone’s actions. It’s about individuals being able to enforce their rights and their voice and their autonomy - THAT’S why people should vote. Not because they owe anyone else anything, but because they owe themselves that right.

    You’re literally mimicking abusive relationships by using fear, obligation, guilt, and shame to force behavior. And then wonder why people don’t like Dem messaging.
