    I don’t vote in my state it won’t change anything

    Wrong, wrong and wrong.
    Your vote matters down-ballot. Your vote matters for a mandate. Your vote matters because you will pay attention. The trick is to get people to feel the way you do so they can rule you.

      You wanna make a bet? If I don’t vote, my state will still vote Harris.

      The trick is actually to trick people like you into thinking they have control when they actually don’t.

        I would argue that even if your state is guaranteed to go one way or the other (aside from down ballot races which are obviously very important) there’s still value in voting for president, if only to illustrate the discrepancy between the popular vote and the electoral college. The higher we run up the margins, the more it makes it obvious to everyone that we need to ditch the electoral college.
