He’s ignorant. And anyone who would discourage those who traditionally wouldn’t have had the privilege of voting is dangerously stupid. If our vote didn’t count, nobody would’ve been trying so hard to take it away.

@bijouxbroussard Who are you to dictate who should or shouldn't be able to vote?

@bijouxbroussard Sorry, I misread your original comment.

@bijouxbroussard I agree. He says that is ole school thinking and that merely being conscious of the facts and voting by abstaining from voting is just as powerful. I disagree but also in general he reacts so much to politicians not taking climate change seriously but then he dosen't save water or make any personal changes either so its a pattern. He is a watcher only. And talks so much about it too.
