    terrible article. No explanation why complaining is "deeper and more powerful than voting." Nothing but a conclusory assertion that both candidate's records are ty, so they're the same. This sounds like a rant from a boomer who still can't deal with how ty trump is.

    Wrong.

    A few hundred looting thugs does not define an entire party.

    But I can play that game if you want. I'll take ownership of the looting and you take ownership of the white supremacy groups who have already killed people here.

    See how that works?

    The fact they don't want to do anything about a few 100 looting thugs absolutely does.

    the 2 party system sucks. abstention still makes no sense. unless you have identical twins running on the same policies, theres a difference between the two, and one is going to be lesser of two evils. so you vote against the greater evil to reduce/mitigate harm

    Your ideology is plotting kidnaping and murdering of government officials, active voter intimidation, and subverting the rule of law.

    Sure they do. Biden won't even call them out.

    Also at only "a few hundred".

    The fact that your team actively courts white supremacist votes does too.
    I'll already illustrated that a good number of the posters here would sell their right to vote or even offer support for their party of choice so I believe the paragraphs in the OP link have merit. Your vote is obviously not that important.

    Unless you live in a state where it's overwhelmingly Republican or democratic at which point you can certainly adopt a stance that your vote doesn't matter.

    yeah on an individual level no 1 vote has ever swung even a state as far as i'm aware, but when that sentiment is broadly shared it has an effect in the aggregate

    Apparently some people need to be beaten over the head with this concept.
    And still dont get it.

    I live in Texas.
    I will vote for Biden.
    I will make it closer and it will get through the heads of red team to straighten out the fckn lying sham.
    Or it does not, and they continue to fail so I am forced to rely on the blue team.

    But we don't think in the aggregate. We aren't a Borg mentality nation. This nation was founded on the concept of individuality and there's probably few places on the planet where individuality is more celebrated than this country. That has some drawbacks and one is that we don't consider our community as much as we should. We are more concerned about how the community affects us than we are about how we effect the community.

    You should give them a stern talking to. Make sure you use very forceful language in your blogging.

    Voting machines don’t listen.
    But some people can count and see numbers.
    Some people...

    umm, except people do go out and vote knowing that their individual vote is unlikely to be the difference maker, but might as part of the aggregate

    people do make donations to charities knowing their individual donations may not be difference makers
