ID: photo of Martin Luther King Jr. waving at the crowd during the March on Washington, on it is his quote: “He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”

    Are we gonna point the finger at them, lay the blame at their feet,

    Absolutely.

    If those 95 million would’ve voted together for Mike the local crackhead, Mike would’ve won the popular vote with about 20 million votes to spare… I don’t know, seems stupid to me to just go on the Internet to complain and then not use one of the only tools you have in a democracy?

    I understand that going out voting is “accepting the system” but that is the only legal way to bring about change. If you don’t want to support the system that’s fine, work to dismantle it, take the fight to them. But just staying at home, doing nothing and then saying “I told you so” is just dumb.

      I understand your point, but as you said:

      But just staying at home, doing nothing and then saying “I told you so” is just dumb.

      There are people WHO VOTED who are doing this, because it’s “not their responsibility” anymore.
