Ok but why is it my responsibility? I have so much personal stuff going on and I’m 19, why is it my problem?

A “friend” of mine got annoyed when I said of course it didn’t matter to him (he said he didn’t even know who was running AFTER the election) because he’s a white male-presenting individual and he went “wow you just described me in the most basic terms like I’m not even a person” THATS THE WHOLE POINT. YOU DONT CARE BECAUSE THOSE BASIC TERMS EXEMPT YOU FROM ANY POLITICAL BACKLASH. Didn’t know he was a “our votes don’t matter so why bother” guy. Tf? “My brain can’t take more info in”😐

I’m not saying you have to go educate yourself on every single policy out there (I know I haven’t), just that you recognize and acknowledge that there is immense privilege in being able to not care and not be informed and to remain that way.
