    There’s that “I never vote because politicians do not care about the issues of people like me anyway” attitude again.

    (Hint: They don’t care because your kind won’t vote anyway.)

      Good point!

      That’s also a symptom of first-past-the-post only giving people 2 realistic options when we should really have more under mixed member proportional.

      I always vote.

      But when I vote for a minority favourite, I don’t go around saying that all other parties ignore a “significant portion” of voters.

      As for games, I also always vote with my money.

      Oftentimes I buy games (and not even play them) just because they have a linux native release. But I still don’t think linux gamers are a “significant portion” of gamers.

      So stop with these kind of baseless accusations, where you conjure up a non existing correlation from your ass.
