for the first time i realized i cant really [politely] ask people at work about voting. in previous jobs/election cycles its a no brainer… running around the office ‘where’s your sticker? did ya vote?’. regardless of affiliation, people should vote…
but theres a palpable embarrassment this year. no one speaks of politics here anymore. i sure as fuck am not going to burst that echo-bubble by askin if they voted.
i just cant really do that in my current location. very strange.
“Did you vote for that parasite or this one?”
That’s all modern elections have become. We’ve resigned to the idea that the problems that matter will never be solved, so anyone who isn’t distracted by bullshit is seen as a madman.
Have fun paying rent.
