Voting in the US with the current system and subsequent duopoly.
Whoa! Watch out everybody! We got a badass over here!
Edgy McEdgerson is checking in!
Voting and not voting in this system are the same decision. Either way you’re pissing somebody off and either way you don’t get what you want. Imagine thinking not voting is rebellious rather than the default. You should want and be empowered to vote for somebody, not against.
You can contribute toward making the duopoly lean one way or the other based on consistent voting. Or you can stop votiing and thereby disenfranchising yourself.
If project 2025 gets implemented, he won't have to worry about voting again anytime soon.
John Oliver made a funny and stomach-churning video on it, which was probably one of the most horrifying videos I think I've seen. Reminds me of some of the diseases that cause such horrible organ damage, even if you survive the disease, your organs are permanently ruined. The MILF manor parts were also...interesting, lol.

I’m exercising my right not to vote. That’s as much of a liberty as voting. Being disenfranchised is voting in a system that doesn’t work for you.
