    So, your plan is to bury your head in the sand rather than hold the people who’ve co-run the show this whole time accountable for anything

    My plan is to vote against the person trying to destroy our country, instead of actively helping him get elected by splitting the vote. You will never elect a third party in our current system, and Democrats are 10,000,000% more likely to work towards a different system (a non-dictatorial one, anyway).

    You can throw your vote away or not, that’s totally your choice. If you choose to actually participate, then you can either vote for an ineffective, way-too-old, status-quo supporter or you can vote for someone who wants to remove your ability to vote and start political prisons. That’s it, those are your only two choices.

    and when that doesn’t work, you’ll just leave? And you’re treating me like the asshole here?

    …yes, absolutely. I’m sorry, but why would I choose to stay in a country that is all but guaranteed to slide into a military dictatorship that is actively working against my beliefs and the people that hold them? If you haven’t seen Trump’s plans, then I suggest you do some reading.

      you should have packed your bags a long time ago.
