    It doesn’t. That’s not the only reason I’m not voting. I’m not voting because it concerns democrats that I am not voting for them. Maybe instead of being concerned with someone that is using their constitutionally protected right to choose not to vote, you should listen to the criticisms and take a stand. Maybe if democrats fulfilled their promises, there wouldn’t be growing discontent with them.

      Wouldn’t calling your representatives and notifying them of your dislike of their policies be even more effective?

      constitutionally protected right to choose not to vote

      If you have to defend your actions by saying “uhhh ok but it’s not illegal to do that” then your reasoning is bad and your actions are likely bad too

      Maybe if democrats fulfilled their promises

      Kind of hard to do when we’re only half of the government. I’ll let you know next time we have a supermajority (admittedly we could have done more last time we had one).

        What makes you think i havent? All you get is an answering machine anyway

        If you have to defend your actions by saying “uhhh ok but it’s not illegal to do that” then your reasoning is bad and your actions are likely bad too

        y’all are acting like im committing a cardinal sin by not participating in complying with a genocide

        Kind of hard to do when we’re only half of the government

        and how many more times will they lead us on. if they know that they cant fulfill it, why say it?? they constantly say we will do this, and this and that and then we get nothing but excuses citing conditions or factors that were well in play before they got the vote. intentional false advertising

          Realistically how do you expect this to work? Really think about it, the only thing that makes sense is to campaign on what you WANT to be the case. Unless you’re intentionally saying things that you personally wouldn’t want, all you’re doing is advertising what you want to do as a candidate. It’s impossible to know what will actually get done.
