I've never talked about not voting, if you read my comments. I just think acting high and mighty towards disillusioned people is part of the problem

And I think you're wrong. I think coddling people and indulging their juvenile entitlement desires to take their ball and go home does real world harm.

Get off your horse, pardner. No one talked about coddling. Just fricking talk to people like you actually want to understand their POV instead of feeling like you're the only moral people in the world.

Incredibly hypocritical and """juvenile""" is how you choose to act

If you view a section of the electorate as children that will push back on you and 'go home' then continue to engage them in patronizing ways, your acting against your own desires when you simply could have been quiet. Therefore, you also are doing real world harm. You just feel like your harm is somehow more just.

If the people you insist on patronizing don't show up, you lose the election, is that worth feeling morally superior to someone else?
