re: #307 Targetpractice

I have no beef with those who tried to vote and couldn’t because of one form of voter suppression or another. Those people have a legitimate reason to be out there protesting these results and I support them.

But if they didn’t vote because (like my coworker) they didn’t feel there was a “point” to doing so or they voted third party in “protest” or because “both candidates are just as bad,” then they’ve got no fucking room to complain. Going out and protesting after the fact is the height of “privilege” in this nation, having the power to prevent something and yet doing nothing because you might have to compromise their precious feewings.

Oh I agree. I definitely have a big beef with the third-party take-my-toys-and-go-home protest voters. They have absolutely no room to complain.

The minorities who COULDN’T vote or were heavily restricted from doing so, however…
