I would like to note that they only example you've provided to equate the two is that p-diddy used s common figurative saying in an attempt to make voting cool.
One can certainly understand things, to an extent, that happened when they were young or before they were born. But if this is the meat of your argument, let alone appearing to be the entirety of it, this is not one of those times.
Lol no that's just what you jabronis latched onto because it was the easiest part to dispute
The messaging is the same. We've been saying every election is the most important election every 4 years going on decades now, in fact, here's a slate article documenting the use of the phrase "most important election in our countries history" going back 200 years in print media.

I don't see it. Please reiterate where you referenced some facts other than this.
Oh you mean the article I just replied with that you completely ignored, just like my point about using similar messaging in every election. My main comment wasn't even about vote or die, just used it as an example lol
You claimed you already had provided something and we all just latched onto one thing. your link was provided after the fact. This should be pretty obvious.
