    Not voting signals to politicians that they don’t need to care about your vote or you in general.

      Really? I thought it signalled that I don’t like either of the choices 🤔… maybe get them thinking about the representatives they select to put on the voting lists.

        They only care about appealing to people who they know vote. Your silent protest is very easy to ignore.

          If there were more silent potesters, you would think they’d actually wonder why that is happening 🤔.

            No they’d just be happy that there’s less people they have to convince to vote for them. Less people voting means it’s easier to pass policies that enrich them. You aren’t doing some meaningful protest, you’ve removed yourself from the conversation.

            There’s tons of money in seeding voter apathy and people like you are why. They get you to remove your own voice and make you think you’re hurting them and not yourself.

              I am not hurting myself, it doesn’t make the slightest difference to me if one party or the other wins. I just don’t want my vote stolen, I’d rather it burned.

              In the end, it’s my vote… the same as the hillbilly with down syndrome. If he can choose, so can I.

                No one’s saying you can’t do anything. I’m simply explaining that your “protest” is ignorable at best and actively beneficial to the people you hate at worst.

                  Well, IDC to be honest, as I said, it doesn’t make any difference to me who wins. I just don’t like either party stealing my vote, that’s all.
