Yet out of the 2 bad options, you chose the one which is the worst by a landslide.
Does that make you feel better, running around telling random people they voted wrong, when you know nothing about who they voted for or whether they voted at all?
I feel fucking tired and hopeless with all the conflicts, extremism, hate and stupidity in the world right now. People are claiming murdering a CEO is a major win with the entire Healthcare drama, while next month antivax RFK Jr. Will be health minister. Idiocracy was meant to be a comedy, not a manual. Right now it's a documentary.
I don't believe the voting system is good, I'm even against it. But not voting is so fucking dumb, when you didn't vote you're not allowed to complain about anything because you kept your mouth shut when you had a chance to say something. I really feel sorry for the people who did chose the lesser of 2 bad choices. Although I do think murdering people doesn't make things better. It only helps escalate the situation and cuts off a head which will grow back even bigger and stronger. I don't feel bad for the CEO, it's understandable what happened when you make people their lives missersble en masse. But it's not going to change anything. When they catch the guy he'll be sentenced and a new CEO will get better protection.
So no, it doesn't make me feel better. People need to see things in perspective and stop thinking life is a Hollywood movie.
