I would have a very difficult time keeping my mouth shut around this guy. Seriously - what did he accomplish by tearing up his ballot? Statistically, he's no different than some apathetic pop-culture-emulating airhead who couldn't be bothered to vote.

I should get to vote twice because of that dumbass. I pity you, honey. You should call him out about the earbuds next time. Say something like, "I'm surprised such an ardent nonconformist even buys into that materialistic icon of consumption."
