I understand what you're saying. I think I just got some lib brainworms. Even though I know voting means so little, I think its the right move to vote.
And yeah, I get all the way the system isn't legitimate. It is what it is. I can participate while advocating for its change.
Don't worry, we shall tear them out with careful application of patient explanation and relentless dunking
This bear eats worms.
New site tag line?
When I'm less drunk I'll come type up a constructive critique of the "I think it's the right move" position. I have more I could expound upon regarding that legitimacy matter.
I'll be happy to hear it.
And I think I get the legitimacy matter. Between the two party system, winner takes all, electoral college, lobbyist, the money needed to run, massive campaign donations, gerrymandering, voting intimidation, and.. shit.. probably a lot more that I'm blanking on. There just a lot of bullshit in the US voting system.
