        I’ve been voting all my life, silly. This is statistics, not a TV show where the power of believing in yourself magically saves the day.

          Ironically the more people that listen to your advice, the less your advice is accurate.

          It’s almost like you’re bait and switching logic for emotional reactionism.

          I’ve seen this play before. Let me guess, you’d say Biden is a genocidal monster singlehandedly genociding Palestine, and also a useless fool who can hardly function, right?

      Your vote matters regardless of where you live in the US. City, County, and State elections are extremely important.

        I never claimed that, the image was talking about presidential elections.

        Unless you live in a swing state, you’re not changing jack with you vote – not without a whole lot of community organizing, something us Americans are just famous for…

          If we had 2 more Dem senators at any one of a dozen points in the past 20 years, the world would be a much better place.

      Down ballot is very important no matter where you live. If you’re conscious enough to recognize your vote for Biden won’t tip the scales you should be conscious enough to know your vote could be very important for other candidates on the ballot.

      Disregarding the down ballot issues, this is an incredibly myopic viewpoint.

      States change affiliation. It takes time. And a red state that is less red than the previous election? That gets noticed. Policies can shift, slowly. More local offices will be challenged.
