"has made me feel real un-welcome here, because I don't vote."
Steve, I would not let the opinion of a few individuals make me feel unwelcome. I believe you said you served in the USMC which says to me that you chose to support your country and the constitution. Voting is a right and a privilege not a requirement, one that is often taken for granted. I think to vote or not to vote is a personal choice as is who you might choose to vote for.
In my home state of Pa. driving a car is also a right and privilege, so my 91 year old mother is wrong not to drive according to their logic. Trust me, you do not want her on the road, LOL, but she made her own choice to give up her license years ago when she was still reasonably able to drive.
Is your choice not to vote any worse than the people who make uninformed decisions on how to cast their vote any better or worse? I really don't want an answer to that! LOL.
I have always bought Chevy / GMC, why, because my father did. The fact that my father respected Chevy / GMC is not really a valid reason for me to follow suit, but I do.
I wouldn't exactly call it harassment, yet. Just let it slide.
After 11 years of hurry up and wait, playing world cop for whatever cause that helped keep the defense contractors busy, I traded in my pickle suit and never looked back.
I have found that some vets just can't let it go, like high-school football captains.
Don't feel too rejected. I've been blocked by a couple "Jockers", and I just don't know why. Oh well…..
Keep on Jockin'. We've got a good community of helpers and contributors.
