@postalsdude: understandable, just feels dirty that you have no power in a system meant to empower democracy - algae

@postalsdude: how would voting not be useful enough for reformation? Is your government that weird? Voting is showing the opinion of the public, if the public has decided to vote for parties that have one shared interest, it should alert whichever party that wins that this is an important interest. Do you guys have one of those surveys Sweden has where you answer a lot of questions about what you see as important and it shows you which parties that are in the election fit closest to your ideals by percentage rate? I feel like that would help too, no? The government could see what does the majority think is important even without direct votes for parties just yet, yknow? - algae

I don't want to get too into the weeds here, but I feel it's important as one of the adults in the room to state that people who can vote really really should, in all elections, state and federal, all down the ballot. And that if it weren't effective they wouldn't be trying to keep people from doing it.

Voting for a candidate doesn't mean you endorse every single thing they do. It just means you prefer to have this person in office versus another one. The American two party system is extremely non ideal, but its the reality we live in. Some people who are against trump are hesitant to vote third party because they aren't likely to win, but also don't fully agree with voting democrat. Whichever you choose, just don't let the both-sides rhetoric inspire apathy and inaction.

i remember what kosa is but whats project 2025?

Ik, this is disgusting and awful. I rlly hope it fails and that thing trump wont be elected. hopefully there are enuf ppl to stawp it and hopefully it wont be allowed. plus trump is guilty on multiple counts of many various crimes, so thankfully it lowers his chance of election
