    Your vote is yours to throw away if you want to.

    But it’s kind of an insult to everyone who fought to let you do that.

      No, what is an insult is the American electoral system where at the end of the day, your individual vote means nothing. Your so called representatives do not work for you. They only represent you only paper. They are there to enrich themselves through corporate dollar and stocks, because capitalism and individualism.

      Our votes do nothing to impact politicians or policy. The needs of capital will always be addressed while we get left over table scraps, that inevitably still benefit capital.

        How’s the weather over in Russia? If that’s your take then you should stfu about anything related to politics. If you don’t vote, you don’t get a voice and nobody wants to listen to you.

          Joseph McCarthy wants his old tired Russians everywhere tropes back. Democrats voted against Trump and got his policies anyway. Hows that worked out for ya?
