Voting is not “lame” to the people who are still kept from doing it – only to cynical, too cool, white hipsters in Williamsburg. People died for this shit! Ask the Blacks who were kept from voting in 2000. Just because you and your group of shitty friends aren’t intelligent enough to engage in a presidential debate, doesn’t mean others don’t.

PS: Vice sucks (always did).

Gilberto

he was a fucking professor and a community organizer. and he’s progressive. this is why people love him.

Plus, this time around, the restored faith in America by hipsters and young people alike is – if one maintains a high enough level of optimism – perhaps enough to finally bridge the racial divide that will make the whole “my Black friend” joke obsolete.

Thanks for saying this. Watching hipsters gush over Obama, as if they needed something to ease their uneasiness with having zero times 0 black friends….sigh, enough is enough.

just stop trying to bring so much attention to your flimsy viewpoint. dont worry. you will forever be crucially cynical and groundbreakingly important to pop culture. ok? you are a big fat icon. are you happy? whatever you need to believe.

just keep showing us pictures of you dressing as a crusty, and SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT THIS ALREADY. cause you are WRONG ABOUT ALL OF IT, AND ALL OF YOUR READERS KNOW IT! and the only “supporters” you will get are just trying to be cool and different and “with” you.

the more you try to push this shit on us the more insecure and irrelevant you appear.

Let’s generalize about the entire electorate based on a narrow reading of our New York social circles, and refuse to admit any level of sophistication in other people’s decision-making! We alone know the truth about politicians! We! Alone! Let’s bookend our manifesto with the word ‘lame’ so people know how beholden to social status we are! Yay, Vice!

Let’s not even be endearing curmudgeons–let’s be sour, shallow, arrogant adult-children who overestimate our own intelligence! We are the nonvoters! Hear us rant!
