In my experience, that's the case 100% of the time. I've never once in my 30+ years heard a liberal say the same thing. It's always ~~Nazis~~ Republicans trying to deflect and sweep their shitty views under the rug because they think it's some kind of trump card to get around their awful views and have civilized society allow them back in so they can spread their hate.
I mean I was apolitical for most of my life, honestly. Barely followed news at all. It’s just depressing.
No offense, but that's exactly why we're currently fighting fascism in America: apathetic folks like you that don't care. Do you vote ever?
you know just like the “i’m apolitical” copout, there’s a similar copout along the lines of “well i voted (and didn’t do shit all other than that), so my hands are clean”.
Voting is the bear minimum, but if all you do is vote, you're still a much better person than folks that don't vote. If you get involved beyond that, even better. But absolutely nothing beyond just fucking voting is required to get involved, but most of the young folks still don't vote.
I’m not a citizen: I can’t vote.
So why are we having this discussion?
You started the voting thing. I merely said I was apolitical.
