    The actual answer is to vote in local elections because they matter more to the country than presidential elections. If you have a house and Senate that vote the way you want the president doesn’t actually matter that much. That’s how Republicans undermine a Democratic president, and why they gerrymander.

      unfortunately not a be-all-end-all answer, due to voter suppression, but an answer that has meaning nonetheless.

        The problem is people who try to skip it because “but dems bad too” and refuse to understand why that’s not helping anything

        It’s like trying to save a sinking ship by throwing the buckets overboard to decrease weight and race to shore against the sinking.
