    I think it’s more how bothered can I be to go vote

    E:

    Should’ve written it like this

    I think for the people living there it’s more “how bothered can I be to vote”

      I see, so you’re letting somebody else decide on what you eat for breakfast.

      And what you’re gonna eat tomorrow And what you’re going eat the next day And the next day…. For four years, and possibly longer.

      Hope you like garbage chicken.🍗 🍗 🍗

          Nobody was chained with 2 options. The options were chosen and rallied for by representatives picked by the people who actually thought about and participated in local government elections. (I’m dropping the metaphor, since it glosses over the process by which these 2 options came about in the first place)

            Except one of the options was foisted onto us and no one voted for her, and the last time she ran she was so unpopular that she dropped out before the primaries.

      Look around you.

      Every thing in your life is from a political decision. How much money you earn, how much tax you pay, what the roads are like.

      I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say you live in a place with rampant voter suppression that makes voting difficult.

      I spent all of 60 seconds voting by mail. But even if I were to go vote in person, it’s never taken me more than ten or fifteen minutes, including travel time.

      But I know there are some places where people are forced to stand in lines for hours. This is why we need voter protection laws.

      Edit: Just saw your comment that says you’re not American. My comment still stands.

      Getting the nonvoter to vote may be a bit harder, but I believe much more fruitful endeavor than trying to court someone that is “undecided” at this point in that game.

      Go vote, peeps
