When will be your “this is the last fucking time I’m voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’, then I don’t care after that, let this country burn to the ground”? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I’m going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I’m done. It’s just pointless. Let’s hear it.

    You’re probably gonna continue reading doomer posts on the internet, getting grey hairs and high blood pressure

    But the one chance you can do something to change things

    You just won’t?

        Your vote matters just as much as everyone else’s. So you’re saying nobody’s vote matters? Clearly that’s not the case. Unless there’s something special about your vote compared to everyone else’s. I understand what you’re getting at, but the conclusion that you shouldn’t vote is flawed.

        Your vote doesn’t decide the election on its own. Does that mean it doesn’t matter? Absolutely not.

          Le epic redditer moment

          Your vote matters just as much as everyone else’s.

          Unless you live in non-swing state in which case your vote literally means nothing as you’re a minority voter for at least the next 30 years. Even then, the vote of someone in a state with a small population gives more of a share of electoral college votes than a populous state. Plus the whole 2 senators a state thing etc etc.

          Your whole position is flawed. You’re reversing the responsibility of ensuring people get to vote. Politicians are well paid professionals whose entire job is to ensure that their political plans come to fruition. Blaming some doomer online for the failures of the party is completely missing the point.

            Look dude we’re both insufferable, let’s stay on topic

            If you believe your vote doesn’t matter, then you believe nobody’s vote matters. Clearly that’s not true. I get that voting for the less popular candidate won’t win the election for you. Boo hoo. Don’t conflate “losing the election” with “not mattering” though.

            If you believe your vote doesn’t matter, you either believe:

            • all votes are not equal (within a given election) or
            • the elections are entirely rigged

              Yeah, like I explained in my original comment in great detail exactly how and why certain votes are not equal.

              I struck a nerve with the redditor comment considering you responded to that 4 word sentence but not the paragraph explaining basic American Electoral structure.
