Yes, that was understood. And just like people staying home during gore v bush got us Iraq and people staying home during clinton v trump ended national abortion access — if this election goes the wrong way you'll share equal responsibility with all the chuds.
And just what exactly is "the wrong way"? I bet that "wrong way" is if things don't go the way YOU want. Do you think I care about what you want? I'll vote for who and what I want not what you want.
I literally just described it in the above comment but engaging on that level for you is impossible, so better instead to pretend what's upset my is that you're not voting for my team — rather than that you're sitting out of an election when trans rights, gay marriage, war with Iran, and fucking democracy are on the line.
Let me sum it up:
I'm a good person because I will do the bare minimum of harm reduction necessary to keep vulnerable people safe every 2 or so years.
You're a bad person because you won't.
Oh so I'm a bad person because I won't vote the way YOU want? That's all you got? You want me to be the bad guy? Say hello to the bad guy.
You're also dumb
