Bernie Sanders at his best

Actually, I won't vote for Sanders because of his political position and party. Unlike you, I am educated in politics at a university level. In fact, I have worked in politics. But none of that matters on a game board where some "dude" who has reached x number of posts (or levels in game) automatically thinks they are qualified to speak on all matters concerning the world, including politics.

Considering all I've heard out of you is some irrelevant drivel about classical socialism followed by the absolutely typical (and uncompelling) promotional materials for classical liberalism and a curious yearning for 1770's politics, you don't seem any more qualified to speak on these matters than we are. I mean, how can someone with a bachelor's in political science (as you've reiterated) not even understand something as simple as the ramifications of not voting. Maybe you can use your fancy liberal arts degree to enlighten us simpletons on how that furthers your interest in any way.

Furthermore, if you had any abstract understanding of politics beyond what you managed to absorb from your professor's powerpoints the night before the midterm, you wouldn't be under the ridiculous impression that one can be more qualified than anyone else to discuss their political opinions on an elf forum... because that sentiment is even more averse to the spirit of our constitution than socialism. I sincerely hope you don't wave your Poli Sci degree around like this around friends, especially when it's used in an attempt to give ethos to whatever point you're trying to make. Nobody would be impressed, and I'd probably laugh in your face.
