You're the one pushing people away. You made a comment, with the intent to make people not vote, with less than accurate information. I don't care to push you away, if you're already away to begin with. I care to make you not push others away.

Its impossible to know if someone is genuine or not, but there are a lot of trolls (and it's only going to get worse) specifically trying to make people not vote. I can't know if you honestly believe what you said or not, but you're functionally the same as a troll trying to spread voter apathy.
