    To not vote or to vote MAGA, the; outcome will be the same.

    And the world will suffer for it.

    The comments in here are so fucking cringe. If you’re not voting democrat then you’re aiding republicans. Full stop. Want to know why women no longer have right to an abortion? Why brown people are getting thrown into camps? It’s because of fucking dipshits like you.

    People should be reminded to vote.

    People also need to be reminded that the 2 party system is a policy choice made by Republicans and the Democrats. We can be free to vote how we want. We can have no spoiler effect. We can have a race to the top, not a race to the bottom.

    I hope doing things your way works if yall are truly ride or die on First-past-the-post voting. To continue to try the same thing and expecting different results… maybe it could work. The chance isnt 0%, i will admit that. Its gotta work after all.

    This is where I would usually post videos on the flaws of First-past-the-post voting alongside videos going over alternative voting systems with no spoiler effect.

    Those days have passed us by. Good luck everyone.

    Like all the best analogies, framed in such a way that there’s only two options and two outcomes

    Refusing to vote if no candidates represent you is democracy. I will not vote this November.

    More like 120 million voted to drive off a cliff and 100 million voted to not, and you live in a region of the bus where your vote doesn’t count anyways because they aggregate by row and your row already leans heavily in the “not off a cliff” camp.

    Yeah, but there’s another bus that’s going to hit yet another bus and the people who don’t want to run off the cliff aren’t trying to stop it so i cannot in good conscience vote for them. And I’ll be very smug about it the entire way down.

    Not voting for anyone is also a part of a democracy, so it is completely fine if you dont wish to vote.

    But then you should also not be whinning if someone you didn’t like won.

    All citizens have three votes. Their political vote, their financial vote (who they give their money to), and their life vote in how they behave, what that vocally support, if they protest, if they support a revolution or not. Every government today is the product of the third type of vote, people fighting in protest and revolution, often mortally to birth that government. It’s our job as citizens to vote for the government and world we want.
