Then don't talk to me like I'm some idiot who doesn't feel afraid of her government every damn' day, who isn't in real danger every freakin' day, and who not only hasn't thought it through, but isn't capable of thinking it through. Proving a point? Entitled? No, voting for the candidate I actually prefer IS the whole point. When I start voting for the candidate other people want, giving into THEIR sense of entitlement, when I FORGET that we've had good leaders and bad leaders and yet we still have injustice and civil unrest, we still have too many poor and not enough middle class, we still get involved in all the wrong conflicts while ignoring the places we really could help, then I become something other than responsible. I become a tool, rather than a voice. These are my principles; I don't require your understanding nor your agreement. You'd be infinitely less interesting and loveable as my clone. However, I will not tolerate that kind of arrogance from someone who should already know I'm a capable thinker, a rational person, and a member marginalized social groups.
