The problem with not voting
(fedia.io)
Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I have nothing against a personal choice not to vote. That is understandable. People fought really hard for Bernie and the DNC did them dirty. Political burn out is real and is happening, so if you or anyone needs to step out of it for a while, I fully support you Kings and Queens.
My problem is the public push for not voting as a solution to improve things. It looks like a bad idea to me. If people personally don't want to vote, that is fine, I wish people would stop trying to justify and convince people it is the right tactic when it's just that they need a break.
Listen, the rest of this post is counter arguments against some of your arguments. I put them in here for posterity. I hope you (@wildcherry) don't feel the need to engage with them. Let someone else counter them. I don't think it is beneficial for us to keep going at it. Rest King.
So let the fascist win unopposed? The consequence of this is not just a store getting burned down, its the loss of freedoms, lives, and democracy.
