An ignorant and unengaged electorate is just asking for it. When you're rich they let you do it, you can do anything.
I remind my friends all the time to pay attention. I plead with them to vote, but they just don't care. They think everyone is corrupt and nothing matters. I'm the only one in my friends group that gives a damn. Honestly, I think this country is cooked. I don't see any way other than pain to cure this apathy.
That's tragic. I'm appealing to people who believe far-right conspiracies (without realising the source is far-right) to be careful of what they consume, but they're voting.
A ton are corrupt sure but of course it doesn't matter if people choose to do nothing.
People take their innate power and just throw it in the trash. It's disappointing.
Grab em by the ~~pussy~~ complete and utter lack of morality.
