    It’s not naive, it’s their excuse to switch their brains off.

    If uncomfortable thoughts only come from faraway malicious others trying to undermine your “democracy”, you can dismiss them guilt-free.

    Now you can simply drop a piece of paper in a box and call it good. Nothing scary needs to be done or considered to arrest the decade long freefall into overt fascism that you wait no stop you’re thinking again.

      Voting matters but convincing people that it’s less than the bare minimum they need to be doing is like pulling teeth.

      brain dead

      Yes, because after 3 major election cycles that were inundated with (proven) bad actors flooding social media with the same tired talking points people aren’t suspicious of brand new accounts relentlessly spaming those same talking points right before another major election.

      God, people are so braindead.

        I didn’t say brain dead, I said wilfully ignorant with words that included “brain”.

        You lot are so practiced in misrepresenting the argument it’s like a flow state huh.
