    Wild take, huh? In response to

    Fuck everyone who voted for this disgusting example of humanity. (Or thought they’re both the same, or didn’t think their vote mattered)

    ? God forbid I focus on the presidential election when responding to a comment specifically about the presidential election. That is fuckin wild, man.

    Anyway, point being, you say fuck me for believing my vote FOR PRESIDENT doesn’t matter, I say it actually doesn’t and fuck you too.

      This wasn’t meant to be a “gotcha!” but go reread the original comment. They don’t say “didn’t think their vote for president mattered,” just “didn’t think their vote mattered.”

      It’s important because, as the oc pointed out, a lot of people end up not voting in consequential races because they abstain from voting at all. It’s a real problem, as we’re all seeing veeeery clearly right now.
