Typical hexbear user observing the world. Maybe next time if you vote hard enough it'll finally work

yeah i'm sure not voting definitely will change things

oh wait

and before you go on about doing other stuff than voting, you know that voting doesn't keep you from also doing those things? not voting is just bad, no good. you're not giving the state the finger you're laying down and saying 'do with me what you will idc.'

Precisely. I voted today and it took a few minutes of my time. There was still plenty of time in the morning to keep working on the things I think will make more of an impact re: improving things somewhat. Mutual aid and anything else in the bucket of "resisting tyrannical government" is much easier when it's only +1 more evil rather than +10.
