    What really makes me apathetic and not want to bother voting is every time someone puts pressure on Biden to be better, they’re met with bullshit like this instead of “yeah, your right, let’s keep the pressure up so he’ll be even better next time”… You know what REALLY turns people off? Being dismissed and not feeling heard or validated

        Probably not a great argument for getting people to vote… Let alone vote the way you’d like them to

      Yeah that can be tough, some people view criticism as the same thing as total opposition, especially on the internet where personal history is non-existent and hyperbole is rampant. It can help to couple your criticism with something that lets those people know you’re still on their side.
