Selfish? Maybe, but my mental health matters far more to me. I’m not looking for approval or saying what I do is right, I am merely answering the question.

- chitowneats 4y agoAgain I would ask that you consider yourself uninformed and abstain from voting if you don't have the mental fortitude to follow the goings on of Planet Earth.
- cpsns 4y agoThere’s no need to be a dick about it. I only vote municipal, those elections actually have a real impact on my life and I have firsthand knowledge of the issues and the people.
- chitowneats 4y agoDid Brexit have an impact on your life? The war in Ukraine? I can assure you it did.
- vinyl7 4y agoThere was a vote for the war in ukraine?
- chitowneats 4y agoIsolationists are attempting to gain power all across the Western world. Believe me, assisting the Ukrainians is on the ballot. Read the subtext.

- cpsns 4y agoBrexit had zero impact on me that I know of and even if it did, there is literally nothing I could do about it given I’m not a UK citizen. Likewise, I don’t don’t recall being asked to vote on the war in Ukraine. I have to focus on this I can control and things that impact me directly and most of that happens at the local level, where I actually have power as an individual. National and international news is almost worthless, it makes me worry over things I have no means of controlling and frankly? My mental health is more important to me than keeping up with news in far off places.
- chitowneats 4y ago> Brexit had zero impact on me Sorry, I stopped right here. That statement is delusional. Read a newspaper or something.
- cpsns 4y agoIt simply didn’t dude, nothing in my life changed in any noticeable way due to Brexit. Claim otherwise as much as you want, but at the end of the day it just didn’t. The street lighting bill going up though? That was noticeable come property tax time.
- chitowneats 4y agoMy entire point is that you fail to notice and appreciate things that have an effect on your life. No, I'm not going to take your word for it. You're oblivious.
- cpsns 4y agoI know my own life perfectly fine. You have this belief the entire west is self isolating, which shows where you’re coming from in this argument. Name a tangible effect Brexit had on my life, just one. Not theoretical things like political isolation and the like. I will give you the Ukraine bit, that has impacted me, but I have zero influence over a war on the other side of the globe. Worrying about it is a waste of my time.
