Plenty of Americans do. The structure of the US government means that I have no meaningful influence through my vote, and it’s unclear how to protest effectively from a the exurbs of a flyover state. So what the hell can any of us do?
- throwaway270925 6mo agoOh please, keep your sorry, defeatist excuses to yourself. Every vote counts. Becoming politically active is always an option. And there are literally "No Kings" protests all over the US this weekend, even in flyover states!
- ggggffggggg 6mo ago1. Every vote counts but in my jurisdiction the people I would like to win generally do. I’m not _changing_ anything with my vote. 2. It’s not clear to me that these protests are effective. Do you have evidence that they are?
