    If voting didn’t work, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you from doing it.

    This country has the potential to be everything we were told it is already and more, but it will take hard, persistent, and undeterred work keeping republicans out and reshaping the democratic party to be the vehicle for the change this land made for you and me needs.

      Ding ding ding. The Republican playbook relies so heavily on disenfranchising voters for a reason.

      I’m distressed by how easily they can stop large numbers of people from voting (or submitting votes in a meaningful way).

      Corollary:

      If voting third-party didn’t work, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you from voting third-party.

          I wouldn’t do that or one of Nicholas Cage’s 90 alter egos, who all somehow are also the same person, will locate your ass and leave it trapped, shot, beaten, burned, kidnapped, ran over, uppercut, framed, mugged, and ultimately left with a terrible haircut, but like 1 out of 10 times.

      How fucking hard is it to vote

      Voters in Dallas and Houston and on college campuses late Tuesday evening reported remaining in line for more than two hours — with some still waiting behind dozens of voters ahead of them. The long lines stretched out of elementary schools, wove through public libraries and wrapped around the LBJ Student Center at Texas State University. Almost six hours after polls closed, voters were still casting ballots at Texas Southern University in Houston.

      There seem to be a lot of people - who are definitely not russian-inspired trolls - who are very clear that they shall not sully themselves to participate in American democracy as the entirety of their specific demands have not been accomplished by the party currently occupying the white house.

          They have the exact same aims and language as russian bot farms, yes. But- maybe it’s a coincidence.

    Problem is exclusively voting for people who benefit from reinforcing the current corrupt system. Who votin for the candidate pushing for ranked choice voting?

      I am. My state will go blue either way so I might as well help their numbers for ballot access later. There are also congressional Democrats who support RCV, and they’ve won my vote.

    Vote the democrats in so you can live to continue the fight and pull them further left tomorrow in the remnants of a somewhat functioning democracy.

    Or vote republican and say weakly, “but I’m one of the good ones?” with tears in your eyes as they kick in your front door and string you up on the wall.

    Heh, I made that top image (of this meme template), so sorry about the knuckles and bad hand… Just used Photoshop and a mouse. Don’t know who drew the bottom image, someone with more skill that’s for sure! I think I still have the Photoshop file of my bit somewhere.

    Vote your conscience. There will always only be two parties if you only every vote for one of two parties.

      The 2 party system is kept alive by the electoral college that incentivizes 2 party voting. If there was actual proportional representation, I would agree.

        Sorry to be pedantic, but that’s more due to First Past The Post voting than the Electoral College. The electoral college is why I will vote third party and it will make no difference in the outcome of this election.

          You throw your vote away because your vote will be thrown away?

          Well. Okay. That seems like a very, very, very long-term strategy.

            That implies it’s possible to be thrown away twice. I’m maximizing the benefit of my vote. My state will go blue.
