I was around in 2000.

Everybody went out and voted and then when it was time for the dems to actually stand for something and fight for the fact they literally won the election they fucked off and handed it to the Republicans.

They're not telling you to vote because they want you to vote they're telling you to vote because they don't want you to do anything else.

They're not telling you to vote because they want you to vote, they're telling you to vote because they don't want you to do anything else.

well said, keeping this

They’re also too cowardly to say “vote democrat.” They’ll just say “VOTE. GO OUT AND VOTE!!” without saying for who. I’m guessing they’re trying to reign in the mythical “moderate conservative” and explicitly telling them to vote democrat will trigger their Patriotic Big Boy Resentment and they’ll vote for Trump out of spite

This always bothered me so much when I was a lib. There are certain people who should absolutely NOT VOTE. I don't want any fucking republicans to ever vote again, except of course for what to watch on movie night in the gulag.
