There are a lot more things society could be and should be doing to better itself. It’s like what I said before with people relying on karma and invisible deities to come and save them. Do they really think the power of the vote really has that much power? I mean look, we have a system in place where regardless of the popular vote (i.e where millions in number vote) can mean moot because of the points-based system that is the electoral college. We’ve seen this demonstrated time and time again.
If voting really mattered, we’d gone away with the electoral college a long time ago.
The fact that people hinge so much on voting as their way of thinking it’s what gives them power, is truly a fool’s game and it’s a game we’ve played for years now.
My civic duty would require more than just wasting my time and effort to stick a little piece of paper down a little machine after deluding myself into thinking that the options we have right now, are the best options we’ve got. When I will be thinking that we should and could be doing more things than that. It’s just nobody wants to and I don’t see you having that kind of a vision.
You’re complaining without presenting any alternatives, which is categorically unhelpful.
You’re advocating for voter apathy which is supremely regressive.
If voting didn’t matter, there wouldn’t be such a concerted effort to disenfranchise voters, via the electoral college and otherwise.
You’re not convincing me or anyone else here that you’ve got a sober view on this; it seems like you’re hoping that accelerationism towards collapse will net a positive result. Complain all you want about voting and how imperfect it is, your vision of apathy and hopelessness is actively hateful towards anyone who wants a better world.
