MODERATORS
Goal-post yeeting aside (first "off the couch", now "no time to sleep"?), barring actual factual voter suppression, there's little-to-no valid excuse in the US to not vote at all. Only 3 states have zero early-voting or vote-by-mail options (for now). The thing with democracy is that everyone shares responsibility to take part. Shirking that responsibility doesn't absolve anyone of guilt, more so the opposite. Now democracy very well may not be an option again, so no, I'm not going to spend much time empathizing with the people that enabled that.
