Voting is easier than revolution
Voting and revolution are non-exclusive between each other
if it worked
(i already voted, assholes.)
Ignore the apathetic doomers. Voting requires little effort for most. A lot of places support early voting.
Go do it. At a minimum they HEAVILY impact your local communities. Even if you don't think they impact the larger USA.
Yeah, I've voted every general election and primary since I was allowed. There's more that needs to be done: education, convincing friends and neighbors, protest, and yes revolution, I've done most of those too.
But voting is the bare minimum duty of citizens in a democracy. I've spent hours in line to vote, it's nothing compared to my mom who was a regular poll worker. I actually find in person voting nice, but living in the PNW where it's mail first I do think every state should adopt a process of sending every registered voter their ballot. Either way, vote early or on time, by mail or in person, however you do it, do it.
If you refuse to vote for any reason, I firmly disagree with your decision, but at least send in a blank ballot.
It takes SUCH minimal effort its insane people dont do it.
Early voting makes it the easiest. For some reason, a lot of people wait to vote the day of and stand in line forever....

Vote like your life depends on it.
Because it does.
Sometimes solutions aren't easy. Doesn't change the fact that they might be necessary.
(Obligatory disclaimer that this comment is not meant to discourage voting. Please do.)
It annoys me that “lowering the cost of gas” Is top of the list. I see so many adds just about that too. I really don’t care about the cost of gas; what I do care about is universal healthcare and an end to the genocide
It's the one thing that tangibly affects the uninformed median voter. Everything else can be ignored or blamed on immigrants or something, but paying like $20 extra at the pump every week is right in their face.

Its easy for me now. Vote D all the way down. Dont even need to research candidates. A vote for R is a vote for fascism.
You vote for a corporate sponsored party without so much as considering the positions of the people you're voting for? Yikes.
Yeah. If youre an R in this climate youre a peice of shit, far as I'm concerned.
My state is deep red anyway so it won't matter a lot.
