205. I don't care who you support

Oct 2015

Why does that matter?

The fact that you prance around as if you're holier than thou because you've voted and have been registered is some pompous bullshit. "Rational conversations" go out the window when someone chooses to sit on a high horse and ridicule the other from the start. Learn some manners, maybe some common sense.

And yes, I've registered, I mentioned that elsewhere in this thread.

Good night to you, maybe you'll feel more humble after a good nights rest.
