    But but but I won’t vote in protest!1 That will definitely make them listen! (/s)

    PSA: Not voting means you have the relevance of an old man yelling at a cloud.

    You move the Overton window by voting. You want policy #857? You have to vote for policy #1 first. You have to walk before you can run.

      I just want one of the “You can’t vote for Biden!” people to outline what I should do instead. What’s the play here? Dismantle the government? Sure, outline your plan and let’s see if it has any merit. Protest? Great, tell me when and where but it doesn’t preclude the need to vote.

      They talk big, but if their entire plan begins with “don’t vote” and ends with “bitch about it online” then it’s not a great plan.
