      it’s a bit late for that.

      If elections are cancelled so is the entire civic contract.

        Self imposed hardship is watching your kids die :) It is necessary for democracy to watch your children die

          You said that, not me. It’s a ridiculous statement too.

          More than a third of you don’t vote, that where the hardship level is.

            I understand what it means for an american to suffer right now, and that means watching your child die. You are very aware that you lack that understanding at least.

              Again, you brought the kid in, not me. Don’t use that to make me out something I’m not.

              Americans are fucking unbelievable ay. Palestinian kids, their own, all are fair game for excuses.

                You lack knowledge in what it means for americans to self impose hardship. Your ignorance is perfectly excusable.

                  Yeah whatever sunshine. Your opinion; what you demonstrate is your willingness to use children for excuses.

                  You brought kids in, not me. All I said Americans aren’t willing to endure a bit of hardship. That includes going to protests and voting as well. The rest is your cowardly creation.

                    No, I just understand why you’re upset, and you remain blind. You are upset because Americans aren’t suffering enough. You are blind.
