    I live in a deep $COLOR state, not a swing state, so my vote has no effect on the Electoral College anyway.

      Yeah, I fully support protest votes against dysfunctional two-party systems in deep $COLOR states - that’s where a lot of people don’t vote because they think they “don’t make a difference” but that’s how little trends start to form over time. Just gotta do what we can with what we have.

      Please don’t let apathy guide you on this. It matters we at least keep showing up to vote even if the most we get out of it is a higher likelihood of being summoned for jury duty.
