Rule 6. Locking.

Edit: Unlocking based on argument that this post is general rather than about the recent US election (OP to edit title).

They’re definitely part of the reason why we are where we are. Not the only reason, but definitely a big part of it.

Additionally, I’ll say that their refusal to vote isn’t the protest they think it is. All it did was tell the powers that be that they trust everyone else to choose for them and that they’re fine with whoever wins.

I don’t care, not like our elections actually mean anything, we get Putin anyway.

They don’t care who leads them and are happy to go along with whatever circumstances or rules are presented to them.

Any problems with those circumstances or rules are their fault.

They probably couldn't afford to miss a day to work, and they know from experience that neither party is going to do anything to change that.
