    When has withholding your vote brought about a positive change? It’s not like a boycott because there no financial incentive.

    The only metric that matters when voting is what percentage of active votes chose you, inactive voters have chosen to silence themselves.

      Bold assumption about not voting, this isn’t what I’m advocating at all. I think it’s important to vote in every race you can, even in such a corrupt and fundamentally broken system as ours.

      I’m saying don’t vote for Hitler, and also don’t vote for 99% Hitler.

        Ah, you’re privileged enough to think you’re insulated from any actual consequences of the election and fuck those other people, right?

        Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool…
