No offense, but that's exactly why we're currently fighting fascism in America: apathetic folks like you that don't care. Do you vote ever?

you know just like the “i’m apolitical” copout, there’s a similar copout along the lines of “well i voted (and didn’t do shit all other than that), so my hands are clean”.

Voting is the bare minimum, but if all you do is vote, you're still a much better person than folks that don't vote. If you get involved beyond that, even better. But absolutely nothing beyond just fucking voting is required to get involved, but most of the young folks still don't vote.

I’m not a citizen: I can’t vote.

So why are we having this discussion?

You started the voting thing. I merely said I was apolitical.
