    No, the problem isn’t not voting, it’s only voting, a distinction those of you who are dedicated to doing the latter refuse to acknowledge.

    It is people who look at the system and think that a tick in a box once every four years can or ever will change that system, but in actuality only maintains it, who are the ones who need to be rethinking their strategy. 🙄

      Nobody refuses to acknowledge this. It comes up in every single one of these goddamn threads.

      There are just too many people who are a little bit lazy and think this gives them an excuse not to show up at all. A way to feel self-justified about it: well both sides are bad, so I’ll go jack off some more. Downballot? I don’t know what that is because I’ve never seen a ballot. Because I do this every election.
