    Tinder is sending push notifications imploring everyone to Go Vote. I’m sure the Tinder staff responsible for this have no ideological predilections or party preferences, they just happen to be very civic-minded in a neutral, League of Women Voters sort of way

        Yes, the performative neutrality (usually corporate-imposed) is what’s bothersome. As in, the phoniness!

        Wait, you’re concerned because people are getting reminded to vote? Or you’re mad because that’s the only Tinder alert you’ve ever received?

        This is the first time Tracey has ever encountered a corporate feel-good exhortation to vote, because he lives his life falling off of one turnip truck and onto another, describing a Mobius strip of bafflement.

        Oh no, more people are going to express their opinion about who will represent their interests in Congress. Do you need a shoulder to cry on?

        He does because the number who agree with him is usually insignificant.

        My Uber driver just asked me if I was on my way to a polling place to perform my civic right of voting... fucking unbelievable! I screamed at that commie bastard as I tuck and rolled out the door at 25mph. No one impartially encourages me to vote, NO ONE!

        i mean literally every site is doing this, Michael. Are you okay? Did you think someone finally swiped right and realized it was just a notification to go vote?

        I’m trying to imagine feeling your smug disdain for the League of Women voters, who are honestly some of the nicest women I know - And I just can’t. Honestly.

        Yes, but they’re women, and, well, that’s a problem area for young master Tracey (someone should really inspect his crawl spaces, just to be sure)

        You're so worked up about this, I would've almost assumed that Tinder gently pushed your microphone as you blocked their way.
