“If you don’t participate in politics you’re evil” is an argument that you completely made up.

You don't like to be called selfish for not considering how your actions might affect others, but others are supposed to care about how their actions might affect you? Seems like a pretty self centered attitude to have.

Incorrect. People were saying if you don't vote at all, you're supporting Trump.

Once again, I have no idea what you're responding to, but it's not arguments that people are actually making in this thread.

It creates a much better discussion if you respond to what people write rather than what you may have heard other random people say anytime over the last few years.

So anecdotes are completely banned now? You better let the thousands of other HN users that use them, know.

> I have no idea what you're responding to

You're being disingenuous. Obviously I'm replying to the comment that I replied to.

If you don't have any good rebuttals, don't try to attack the messenger instead.
