I’m already voting. But every time I express disappointment at the results, people who ar happy with the results act like I’m not doing enough, and that the worthlessness of the available choices is my fault.
Well you’re allowed to feel like the choices are shit, they def are. I don’t think I’d lay the blame for a broken system at the feet of somebody already doing what they reasonably can, which you are. Imo its a systemic problem that I think will require voting reform to fix, that’s fundamentally driven by the 2 party duopoly.
I’m not frustrated with you, I’m more upset with the OP for acting like the best option is to give up. Its definitely a shit show but unless we’re ready to go full revolution we have to contribute in whatever way we can. The simplest being to vote. Obviously more is better, but doing anything at all is better than like a third of Americans, and I’d argue better than halfish the rest of the 2/3rds but that’s my own political opinions.

Change on the national level will never occur through voting. If their is a study or research that shows that voting makes an impact, I’m all for it.
