    Oh I’m right there with you. I mean, I do think the system has been engineered to maximize voter disenfranchisement still, but regardless I also think it’s one’s moral imperative to participate and vote anyways. It’s the bare minimum, and harm reduction is better than nothing.

    One thing I think a lot of people in this thread don’t realize is that, the more people are mobilized to vote, especially for a ‘lesser evil’ candidate that they may not be excited for, the more velocity we have to propel a more desired candidate into office.

      This summarizes it nicely. High voter turnout in 2024 can only help us in 2028 with a better, more progressive candidate.
