I’m not saying don’t vote, I’m saying that alone isn’t going to help. Do you think people shouldn’t do anything else and should just rest assured all they have to do is vote 10 months from now?

Also, I can’t vote in the Untied States, I’m Canadian. I say us because it’s the whole world’s problem. He’s threatening millions of people who couldn’t vote against this.

Jesus fucking Christ, dude. Why are you trying to discourage Americans from trying to fix the mess their in via legal means if you don’t even have a legal say? This is a bad look, at best.

  I’m not trying to discourage voting. I’d vote in the midterms if I were able. I’m saying people shouldn’t be complacent and wait for an election 10 months from now. Look how much damage Trump has done in a year. November will be too late

    Then what do you want them to do? Violent uprising? Because that’s an even worse thing to suggest when you are in a different country.

    General strike would be worth a try. And you’re treating me like I’m not affected by this and like it’s none of my business. It’s my business because Trump has made threats against my country

Might as well be a Russian troll farm.
