    Again, I’ve heard and made all these same arguments. I’ve been told for decades that we just need to vote harder. I do realize that if we had an overwhelming election that things may change but when we look at who’s currently running, the fact that we’re putting up a guy who’s doing everything possible to create his own Vietnam for reasons I simply cannot fathom, tells me that those in power really give zero shits.

    If there was some reason to be inspired or believe that my vote will make things better, then sign me up. But I’ve done it for ages and my voice of rationality has always been drowned out by the shallowest thinkers on the planet. I have no faith left that it will ever be different.

      You keep saying you’ve heard my arguments before, but don’t seem able to directly rebut them?

      Just because you’ve been told something many times does not make it untrue.

      Voting for the best option even though it’s not perfect, is not how we ended up here.

      We ended up here because people don’t vote. As I’ve said many times (and you haven’t responded) conservatives don’t want you to vote. They want you feeling despondent and defeated and apathetic as you do.

      You don’t need to “vote harder”, you just need to vote.
