There aren't sides! I'm not on your side, I don't even know you. No one here owes you anything.

You're saying "you must woo me to do the right thing" and it's complete garbage (you've already admitted OP is "probably right"). If you're going to vote out of spite because people aren't "taking a chill pill" you can go pound sand. I'm tired of this "you didn't tell me in the perfect way, so I'm right and you're wrong" reductive nonsense.

Spoiler alert: there is no perfect way to tell them, that’s the point.

Right! that's what is so tiring about it. Maybe some people legitimately feel the way OP does, but more often than not it's just the ever-moving goalpost. It's impossible to tell the difference until you've wasted all your time.

Once the goalposts are moved back to the point where you're practically begging, they'll turn around and try to assert dominance by calling you weak for trying to reason with them like a perosn.
