    Are you trying to miss my point? Whether I vote or not is actually meaningless. Nothing I do is going to “do much of anything.”

    That’s the point. Guess what, the party that best represents me when it comes to voting season, is anything but the status quo. Because the status quo doesn’t work for me. Simple as that. If I vote blue, doesn’t matter, if I vote red, doesn’t matter. There’s 0 moral grandstanding. My vote is actually 100% meaningless, (in other words: empty, hollow, insignificant, mindless, nonsense, nonsensical, pointless, purposeless, senseless, unmeaning, vacuous). Unless it’s at a local level.

    Voting anything other than status quo at least makes it worth my time to go stand it line, for me. It’s how I personally justify wasting a few hours of my day. And that’s true for 90% of Americans whether they want to believe it or not. Voting is meaningless. This “democracy” is broken.

      Look, I get it. I’ve spent most of my life living in a very red district in a very blue state. That’s not true now, and I’m happy to be taking advantage of it, but I understand. Just remember to actually vote at your local level. It makes more difference in your day to day life than who is president anyway. I’m just trying to be clear about what’s going on. Historically and this November.
