    Well you seemed angry and this new comment doesn’t make me believe that less. Also what behavior? I said nothing wrong.

    In addition, I’m not even American - it was just a general statement, I don’t even follow American politics.

    Try not to assume so bad intentions from people in the future. Have a nice day.

      The point of the post, from my reading, is that there are other things you can do that are quite punk outside of a political context. I’m not angry, I’m just mildly disappointed that you seemed to miss the point entirely.

      I would also daresay that there are far more potent political actions you can take as a punk. Not to discourage voting, I’ve voted in every single election I’ve been eligible before. But personally I think it’s far more punk to attend protests and rallies to show politicians an overwhelming distaste for their cowardice.

      So IMO voting is only punk when it’s done in conjunction with other actions.

        I don’t think I’ve missed the point. I did not read the post as being somehow in contrast to what you do in usual political contexts (like voting). I don’t really see what in the post suggests that.

        I don’t disagree that there are other things that you can do as well. Again, I wasn’t criticising the post, just adding something. Another version of my comment could be “Yk another way you can contribute to your community? Voting.”

          I strongly disagree that the act of voting, in and of itself, counts as “contribut(ing) to your community”. Maybe that’s where our opinions differ.

            That’s fine, your opinion is as valid as mine. So please don’t degrade mine by calling my comment “poisoning” or “adding nothing”. I wish you had started with your last two comments which aren’t as harsh.

              I can believe that your opinion is valid, while still also believing that your comment here in this thread is not. Considering my instance has downvotes disabled, I decided to comment and reply as much. I am sorry for assuming you were American though. I’m skittish as I’ve seen way too many communities, unrelated to US politics, devolve into toxic debates about voting vs not voting in this year’s upcoming election over there.
