Decisions are made by those who show up. It’s as simple as that. It really is the very least you SHOULD do as a functional adult.
I get how not everyone wants to be active on campaigns, can donate, etc. But voting itself should definitely be a given. Same goes for small elections; if you don’t vote, someone else will decide for you. And you might not like what they decide.
Show the fuck up and vote.
I've shown up every year since 2000 and other people keep making the decisions anyway because the people I vote for lose so goddamn always.
Vote in every election, not just once every 4 years.
Gee it's almost like I did that because it's exactly what I said.
Have you tried voting harder?
I voted so hard.
No, but thanks to mail in ballots I've tried voting without pants on. Doesn't seem to be more effective but it's much more comfortable.
Should we vote: yes. Will voting for establishment politicians prompted by the DNC/RNC fix America's problems: no. Both parties have a status quo that they want to adhere to, which is why we will never see more progressive policies like Medicare-for-all.
