    In the United States, one party tries very hard to suppress voters. The other party tries very hard to get out the vote and stop voter suppression.

    And yet, whichever party is in power, their environmental policy is set by oil industry lobbyists and everything keeps getting worse.

    If all paths lead to the same bad destination, why walk down any of them?

    If you tell young people that voting matters, you’re telling them to ignore the evidence of history and their own eyes.

      The Democrats didn’t hold a supermajority needed to pass anything other than a budget-related bill. They had 50/100 seats in the Senate, not the 60 needed to break a filibuster. We got a lot anyways

      There is so much more to vote for than your two party presidential race. Get real.
