    Voting matters people. The big name races for president, senate, etc don’t have nearly as much impact on your day to day life as local races and your vote has significantly more impact the smaller the race.

    All those shit hole red states that are passing crazy legislation? That’s because conservatives spent the last few decades focused on state congresses and it worked extremely well. It’s going to take at least that level of commitment. Put up good progressive candidates every primary (and fucking vote for them) and vote Democrat in the general election. That’s the only path that leads to change. You cannot get away from the 2 party system without eliminating FTTP voting and the only party that will allow that is the Democratic party. Voting 3rd party or abstaining from voting because Democrats “need to earn your vote” does nothing but make it worse.
