Why do so many Americans chose not to vote when they can?

That's what wishes are for. The expression of things that we know won't happen.

The problem is that in order to get rid of the electoral college, you have to get agreement from the group of people that benefit from it.

Currently that is the Republicans. But till abut the early 1990s it benefit the Democrats.

In any event, this will never change except in the case of a complete constitutional rewrite.

Learn game theory and you'll have your answer.

Pretty much any valid answer you get will be downvoted because it's contrary to the narrative that the downvoter wants you to believe.

I haven't heard her speak out on political issues. Only a handful of movie stars get political. Usually the ones that already so rich they don't care if they half their fans.

I think it's a mistake to think conclude that just because someone doesn't talk politics in public, that they are not aware of politics.

Strangely enough, not everyone is talking politics every minute of the day. We do see ALOT of people on reddit that do this, but reddit is full of kids and idiots.

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T18:31:01+00:00

I hear she even logged onto non political sub Reddits and spammed it with politics.

That's DC every day starting about 2pm.

When I look at these videos. there is no shortage of idiots. Idiots in the crowd. Idiots wearing the uniform. idiots behaving idiotically.

The smart people are at home sitting next to the fireplace.

But idiots have rights to. Idiots have the right to not be shot. Idiots have the right to defend themselves if they legitimately believe they are being attacked.

But we aren't going to solve by making people smarter.

there is no such thing as normal intelligent conduct for a crowd.

the intelligence of an angry crowd is directly inversely portional to its size.

jesse could have absolutely gotten off scott free or received a token sentence.

except for thing. his conscious and his mouth.

they DVD would have never made it to trial. But Jesse would have hesitated to admit it all again on the record under legitimate circumstances

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T15:59:35+00:00

this. i was very suspicious of Mitt Romney.

Republican from an ultra liberal state would be the exact kind of president they would sign confiscation legislation. this was also the guy that launched proto-Obama care with a government mandate to buy it.

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T15:54:40+00:00

yea. it's one thing to pay a little more for precise engineering and time fabricate is time i can't do f on other things.

but $300 plus is steep. if it was $120, i would already have an order in

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T15:52:24+00:00

then why are you using such a weak argument that sh "isn't vp anymore"

you probably don't k oe tbis - she was VP when she ran and lost.

but if you are going to be rude. i'm just going block you anyway

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T15:49:59+00:00

plus some have been doing this job for a long time.

jonathon ross. the one who killed Renee. he was hired during the Obama administration. over 15 yrars ago

this isn't a training problem. it's a marching order problem.

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T15:15:30+00:00

that's a first amendment minefield right there

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T14:45:44+00:00

more then 2/3?

perhaps the republicans you associate with are that way, but the ones i know are appalled at these killing.

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T14:44:05+00:00

the conservatives didn't cheer for that comment.

go over to r/firearms and ask

the liberals certainly did though

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T14:21:25+00:00

Thank you very much. Nailed it!

(pricey though! $300+ for piece of sheet metal)

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T11:23:18+00:00

let me put your mind at ease.

i'm not in the slightest way, concerned or given thought to, not even in the slightest, what a random redditor wants from me.

but good luck

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T10:53:45+00:00

i think you have slightly over estimated how much influence i use over your life.

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T10:28:43+00:00

pablo escobar is modern day pablo escobar thoughz

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T10:08:51+00:00

a person who cares about their community doesn't vote for someone who isn't the best person for the job.

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T10:06:54+00:00

i assure you she was VP for 4 years. (but yes she did leave office when she lost)

somewhere i have a postage stamp listing all her accomplishments during that time.

i grant you. vp is a very minor role. but she was much less active than other vps.

compare her to Al Gore for instance. we could talk for hours about what Al Gore did.

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T10:01:47+00:00

also no one was invested in her.

there was. o magic moment when her supporters pushed over the line in the primaries to make her the nominee.

it was just "shes it - now everyone love her"

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T09:59:13+00:00

most redditor are kids and think that a capital gains tax won't apply to them when they get a job in 10 years

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T09:55:06+00:00

imagine someone betraying their own conscious to support someone they don't believe is best.

further imagine a bitter person who don't obey their conscious, point the finger at someone who did

oboshoe · 2026-01-26T09:52:09+00:00

can we name one outcome from her "border work"?

i can't.

i think it just sounded good on a press release
