You literally let the opposition win by way of forfeit, then you get mad about the way the competition went. Of course older people are going to give an hour of their lives to go out and vote for what they hold to be important. If they're bigoted, they're going to vote pro-bigotry. Taking a knee during the anthem or toppling a statue isn't going to change that. Coming up with a catchy "okay, boomer" meme isn't going to change that. The only thing that's going to keep old people from running America is for young people to challenge them.

But I guess if you can't order a new president from a phone app, you needn't bother with the president. An hour at the polling location is an hour that could be spent on Netflix. Besides, surely there will be enough young people motivated to get out and vote in your absence. Trump is such a hated man -- except by bigoted older white people who are 100% guaranteed to vote.

Not all white people or older white people are bigoted.
Not all young people are apathetic.

But that's really where the problem lies. There are too many in each category that fit that description.

Just depends for me. Sometimes there's no line, sometimes the line is around the block. Ironically the first day of early voting is usually one of the longest lines because everybody is trying to get it done before they forget.

That's literally the implication of the title.

Complaining, but not doing anything. It wreaks of entitlement and it only reaffirms the results.

I'm actively involved in politics and policymaking and I find it very off-putting. Just voting is basically useless because our options all suck, but trying to improve our options is miserable work. Can't really blame anyone for just tuning it out

As frustrating as it is, I can understand people sitting out the presidential election, but when they do that and don't participate in their state/local politics at all as a result, I think considerably less of them.

Idk, prosector? Judges if your state elects them. Or nothing I guess, that's up to you it's just weird to me that you'd vote if your vote counted in a national election, even though your vote is much more meaningful on a local level

My issue is that I dont have a social platform to urge others to vote too. So my vote is always swallowed.

So my individual influence is extremely small. Now if I had some sort of clout, I would be more enthusiastic. But when my own mother constantly trashes any form of political flyer, but comments how candidates arent any good, what IS the point?

I have no backup in my state. I would feel more useful if I could rely on the popular vote from other states too. Then my vote would matter. But as is, theres no reason for me to vote.

It literally doesnt matter.

So what do I do?
