as long as you #vote you're doing the requisite
we could ask for more from you
but first why don't we instead ask these fucking loser #cynics and #perfectionists to get off their fucking asses and fucking vote
#ElSayed is a powerful signal:
people showed the fuck up and got us a real #leftist
beat the #DNC turd
how can anyone see that and not understand the way forward?
do you see, you fucking fake whiny useless "leftists"?
VOTE YOU STUPID ASSHOLES

"Research shows that even though our society tends to view a cynical viewpoint as smarter or even more moral, cynical people are worse at problem solving and cognitive tasks, worse at telling whether someone is lying, have measurably worse physical and mental well being, and are less likely to vote, protest, volunteer or otherwise take steps to make the world better."

Are you a #skeptic or a #cynic?
#Skeptics tend to be open-minded, comfortable #questioning their #assumptions, and willing to change their minds; #cynics tend to be #pessimistic and #assume the worst in people and events.

Stop attacking #cynics when the #hope peddlers have continually sold you on the notion that things will get better, all while the world watches everything get worse. Cynics aren't breaking the world and they're the only ones that are going to give you an honest assessment.
Hell, hope has been promising handcuffs for 10 years.
