Thanks for your generic dismissal of our reasons for not voting. I vote in local government matters, but I'm not really sure what the point of my federal vote is supposed to be right now while I'm a blue voter in a permanently very blue state. If we had pure direct democracy that'd be one thing, but in the age of the electoral college, your dismissal of youthful naivety comes across to me as empty arrogance from someone who's convinced his own beliefs are the only ones worth adhering to.

>for not voting. I vote in local government matters "I vote in local government matters" doesn't really put you in the "not voting" camp. >while I'm a blue voter in a permanently very blue state. It provides signals. Vote for other blue candidates to show support. >your dismissal of youthful naivety The dismissal is of people who don't vote. Those people are the issue because voting is the only way to get changes into your local governments, etc.
