Haven't seen another post for election updates yet, so creating this. Share your bets on how many times Anthony Green is going to have a screen malfunction.

Definitely a poor opinion then.

My concern isn't for my own vote. It's for everyone; there's a pervading notion that voting is either irrelevant, useless, or a balancing act to find the least-worst option.

I don't recognise the "listless wandering" you describe. It's poetic but doesn't reflect what's actually going on here: people aren't looking for entertainment; they are worried how they're going to pay the bills. It would frankly be a relative utopia to have the privilege to not care about politics and what it's doing to people.

Good opinion, and it seems you agree,

My opposition to your words

~My vote doesn't matter so you give me the lie to it

Is tackling the same notion as,

It's for everyone; there's a pervading notion that voting is either irrelevant, useless, or a balancing act to find the least-worst option

So you actually agree with me, you just don't understand you do.
