    Voting strategically doesn’t make me feel good. It sucks. However, it does effect change, so I do it. You should try it. On election day you might not appreciate it, but come inauguration day, or perhaps a few months later, you’ll recognize the value in meaningfully participating in your democracy instead of complaining online about an outcome you didn’t bother to influence.

    Millions of people are going to die because DOGE gutted USAID. That could easily have been prevented, and that’s just the start.

      you got the same result as people who voted for Jill Stein and the people who voted for Trump.

      that’s not effective.

            Nah. You said voting doesn’t work because I got the same outcome as everyone else. That’s stupid. Voting works fine when enough people do it and do it intelligently. Americans simply didn’t in 2024. “Eggs expensive! Let’s try fascism!”

              It shouldn’t be, but it’s still amazing to me that Libs have to keep creating arguments out of thin air, and putting words into other people’s mouths. Of course, if they could stick to the facts and the discussion at hand, they woulnd’t be libs.

                Some memory you have.
