… Do you think President is the only thing on the ballot? Do you think that maybe, if everyone voted, the demographics might be different?

I’m so tired of this nonsense. If y’all bothered showing up for state and local races, you could even change elections in your state. But that would like, take effort, so I get why you’d rather shitpost about how worthless it all is.

Ah, so by “not voting” you meant “leaving one box blank while already filling out the rest of the ballot because what’s the point of wasting the ink”?

Sorry, that reads, to me, like post hoc justification for nonsense. The only people who talk about voting not mattering are people who don’t vote - not people who skip one or two boxes on the form. Maybe you’re different.
