    It’s more like one group is voting to jump off a cliff and the other to run into an immovable object at full speed.

    What if 4 people want to drive off the cliff and 4 want to slowly back over the cliff? That’s a more accurate analogy.

    You nonvoters are the most influential sector in the US— you catapult MAGA to victory every election— you seem to only slightly care about the presidency and are woefully ignorant about your own government’s structure. You are the reason SCOTUS is no longer impartial because somewhere along the way you got the impression it’s supposed to be a politically leaning entity.

    Your lack of interest in Civil rights and democracy is about to guarantee your children will spend their adult lives navigating fascism and militaristic law. They won’t know what democracy looks like because they will never experience it, thus ensuring the continuation of fascism.

    Well, at least they can still be openly racist so I guess your lack of interest won something…well done!

    To not vote or to vote MAGA, the; outcome will be the same.

    And the world will suffer for it.

    The comments in here are so fucking cringe. If you’re not voting democrat then you’re aiding republicans. Full stop. Want to know why women no longer have right to an abortion? Why brown people are getting thrown into camps? It’s because of fucking dipshits like you.

    People should be reminded to vote.

    People also need to be reminded that the 2 party system is a policy choice made by Republicans and the Democrats. We can be free to vote how we want. We can have no spoiler effect. We can have a race to the top, not a race to the bottom.

    I hope doing things your way works if yall are truly ride or die on First-past-the-post voting. To continue to try the same thing and expecting different results… maybe it could work. The chance isnt 0%, i will admit that. Its gotta work after all.

    This is where I would usually post videos on the flaws of First-past-the-post voting alongside videos going over alternative voting systems with no spoiler effect.

    Those days have passed us by. Good luck everyone.

    More like 120 million voted to drive off a cliff and 100 million voted to not, and you live in a region of the bus where your vote doesn’t count anyways because they aggregate by row and your row already leans heavily in the “not off a cliff” camp.
