It is. Really, it is. Just look at what Trump did to everything you supposedly care about from 2017 through 2020. I said in 2020 that had we elected Hillary Clinton POTUS, we’d at least not have backslid as hard as we did from 2017 to 2020. But people had to express their displeasure at Hillary, and stayed home or voted Third Party, and from 2017 until 2020, they got what they voted for, hard, without lube.
It’s the same thing now in 2024. Biden HAS made concrete gains in areas I’m interested in, ranging from investing in green energy, pushing for domestic chip production, and standing up for minority rights in all areas. Trump plans on reversing all of that and then some with his Project 2025. Stay home and get Project 2025.
Which is why I treat voting as an obligation and not have any hope for the future. Because when it works it still looks like shit, doesn’t seem to do anything, and a bunch of assholes can throw a wrench in the works and then we get even more shit.
I’m still gonna vote because I live here and I have to. But I really don’t think it’s the way you get anything done.
