I didn't say any of that. Your assertion that I have to vote against my interests for others, while those others are to vote for their own interests, does not equate to not carrying about my fellow citizens in the slightest. Sob and rant all you want, but I was not born to be your slave working and voting to cover you ass, your bad luck or your failure in life. Live by the consequences of your decisions, by your efforts or by your lack of effort.
I am confident that for at least 99% of you, you all were fantastically lucky to not be born into the circumstances I was. Yet sometimes I now think that taught things none of you ever had to learn. The value of freedom - the greatest value of all - because all you have always had freedom. From what I read, almost all of you grew up in extremely sheltered lives - never wanting for food or housing, never in any real danger, pampered, everything you got as a kid was free.
Yet that is NOT the history of the human race and is not how most people in the world live. You sob and want more, more, more - to always take it from others, want the government to steal for you and those you care about from those you don't - and reject the essence of freedom - personal or economic. It is making the slow downfall of this country. That is what I oppose. I oppose what you want.
Yes, you did. You just didn't like getting called on it.
...Endless dooms day paranoia, endless hatred of the USA's history - constantly in fear and fury, emotional firestorms. If they can't whine about their lives, they whine about other people's lives acting like they are victims of other people being victims - always desperate to be or create victims.
If you hate your life, vote for change. If you don't, vote for the status quo. Seems fairly simple. But, then ,I don't buy into the Democratic Party's claim that I have a duty to vote for the best interests of others - others who are to vote for their own self interests.
Dooms day preppers tend to be rightwing. Denial of our countries history of slavery and black oppression seems to be a rightwing thing, too. Emotional firestorms that lead to the bombings and murders of planned parenthood doctors is rightwing thing, too. The rightwing doesn't whine about their own lives because they're too busy blaming and whining about the lives of the left. The rightwing and their dear leader play the victims like it was going out of style.
The left don't hate their lives...they just want to make lives better for everyone...not just a few. But we can't have nice things in this country because the right are too narrow minded, selfish and greedy and have no thought for future generations. They are willing to destroy the entire planet for their personal gratification today. Just like you, Joko.
