    Voting is like paying taxes: It sucks, you don’t get anything you want, but not voting leads to problems.

    I mainly vote to prove it doesn’t help and I haven’t been proven wrong since 2000

        I agree, which is why I’ve been voting in local and primary elections since 2000. And it doesn’t work because the system of government we have is shitty, old, and broken.

      It might not look like it helped but who knows what would have happened if you and several others didn’t go.

        I guess the entire world going straight to hell at 300 mph is better than at 400 mph. Still going to hell, though.

      If you’re someone who is living paycheck-to-paycheck, you’re only voting for one party, because no matter who you elect the end result is still low wages and severely high cost of living.

        Yep. We’ll still have a shitty health care system, a shitty education system, a shitty transportation system, a shitty housing system, a shitty food system, a shitty economic system, and a shitty diplomatic system.

        But goddamn do we have a lot of guns so we’ve got that going for us.
