> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Okay, asahi, you’ve been saying things like this for a while now. It’s pretty obvious you feel the political system has failed and voting doesn’t work. So what exactly are you calling for? Marching in the streets? Revolution? What steps do you thing we should be talking to express our unhappiness with the current administration? Or is this just you posturing? He won’t be able to explain it to you, because it is an issue that is a very divisive, polarizing issue. But there is a solution. He thinks he has that solution, and nobody else does. He’s going to be working on that. And he’s done a very good job, too. He’s very happy with himself. But it’s been a very tough issue for the two sides, there’s no question about that. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Yes, but if he and a few thousand of his fellow citizens of Michigan had bothered to get off their asses and vote, it would have made a difference. So all he would have had to do to make his vote make a difference was round up 9,999 of his friends and go vote and he didn’t do that. What a slacker. ---

Well, sure. What kind of loner do you have to be not to be able to round up _at least_ ten thousand friends? ---

You’re not being fair. It’s only 4999 of his closest friends. The margin was 10k so only 5k votes had to flip, after all. And who can’t find 4999 people to go along with them? ---

Even in the most tightest of partisan social circles there would surely be some people you call that you can’t really be too sure about. ---

This is one of the best book covers I’ve ever seen.
