If You Won't Vote, You're Not My Friend
I just can't respect someone who cowers in the face of atrocity...
If you’re considering not voting because you can’t seem to find the perfect candidate or if you think that you’d rather sit this one out because you think it’s inconsequential, I don't want to hear your pathetic bullshit excuses about the duopoly and the two-party system. 140,000 people are fucking dead and there are still people looking for a reason to not vote or to vote third-party "because that aligns more with my values" as if it's some sort of noble act. It's not. Nihilism isn't fucking cool and if you actually believe that your entitlement to self-expression is more important than stopping the next 140,000 deaths, because of a total lack of political leadership and strategy to deal with this pandemic, you're the lowest of low and scummiest of human beings. Like, real talk, how fucking selfish are you?
I don't want to hear blah blah blah, Biden and Trump are pedophiles, first of all none of that shit has been proven and is all hearsay, and what has been proven--a little creepy touching which is disgusting, admittedly--pales in comparison to 140,000 dead people, shattered families, broken dreams, and dying communities. Get your ass out there and vote. Yeah, I don't like Biden either, never really did, but this is madness and a lot of people are dead unnecessarily because of this orange clown in the white house.
Florida is going up in proverbial flames. Our state is getting sick very fast and the death toll, hospital beds, ICU units filled, and hospital capacity taken up are all metrics that are skyrocketing along with the massive influx of new cases, 14,000+ yesterday. This is threatening to kill the people I care about, yet, Republicans are still waltzing into my girlfriend's establishment and saying it's a "Democrat hoax" and that the virus isn't even real. What. The. Fuck.
If you don’t take action amidst this shit, you're complicit. Full stop. You're just as guilty in my eyes.
If anyone still wants to pussyfoot around about NOT turning out and voting this year or squandering their chance to combat this raging pandemic by voting third party, they can exit the fuck out my life. They didn't help save the world when their help was needed, they're useless humans and basic ass consumers who don't deserve my friendship. That's a choice. That's cowardice, it's the cowardice of not being able to bite the bullet and make hard decisions, the cowardice of not ever wanting to try for fear of failure and judgment, and I have no room in my life for cowards.
Eagles don't fly with cowardly pigeons, my friends.
