You should be voting every year, not once every four. At minimum once every other year, when you account for congressional term limits being offset by two from presidential.
You should also probably be voting in local elections and for local issues, nearly every year in most municipalities.
That's not to mention the various party primaries you're missing.
So maybe stop complaining until you stop exercising only a small fraction of your voting power.
- TheRealDunkirk 3y agoSo do you, who exercise the full force of your voting power, feel like you have any influence over our country's use of surveillance powers? Any influence over the power to regulate investment banks and private equity from destroying the last vestiges of the US middle class, or the American dream? Any influence over weaponizing the world in every armed conflict around the globe? Any influence over illegal immigration, drugs, or crime? Because I don't see how either party is materially any different in any of these cases, and I absolutely see and understand how they've rigged the system to prevent anyone from disrupting their status quo. If you do, then good on you.
