Vote
VOTE.
I don’t care what you think about your vote counting or not, I don’t care what you think about the current political mess.
If you only go and vote for the weirdest candidate you can think of, you will get counted.
Maybe the outcome won’t change, it probably won’t, but the folks the politicians hire, will see those numbers, and since it’s a matter of which crook gets into office, and therefore gets the contracts for his friends, the big contributions, and the paid vacations, they will pay attention.
Crooked politician is redundant, major favors for friends, and backroom deals are a fact of life.
We can’t change that, but if we all vote, we can make a difference in the smaller elections and maybe we can scare those Honorless, Lying, Bastards, just a little and maybe they won’t fuck with us quite so much.
So, go ahead and vote, if nothing else, it will mess with their demographics when 70 or 80 percent of the voters actually turn out.
