Maybe I am a terrible citizen. The last time I voted was 2016. I’m never doing it again.
If someone was selling brownies at a fair, and one pan had a teaspoon of dog poo in it and one had a full load, would you pick either one?
That is the “lesser of 2 evils fallacy”.
George Carlin once said that the only people who have any right to criticize the system are the ones who don’t participate in it. If you pay into it, you are bound by its rules.
Can’t bitch about a crooked poker dealer if you put your money down at the table.
I, too, last voted in 2016 – and regret having done so. It’s not the ‘two-party system’ I despise – it’s ‘representative democracy’ itself combined with the universal franchise. Add in the theater of the ‘jury’ system.
Most people – of ALL ages – today are barely sentient enough to manage breathing on their own. Expecting rational thought and/or action or impartial judgment is a bridge way too far.
Burn it all down.

I don’t recognize this country any longer, I do not have any allegiance for this government, that includes state and local. It is evil and corrupt beyond fixing. Voting is null and void for me, the selected are all part of problem, we have identified the problem, we just need to take action to resolve it. TINVOWOOT!
Yeah, same. That’s the zeiteist of the People. Watch them sink a carrier and try to start a draft. Get bent, buddy. My kids have stated they’re not dying for isreal.
Joe, so you know, a lot of us are saying your kids – and everyone else’s kids and grandkids – aren’t dying for Isrealhell.
Nope. Nope. Nopity nope.
The masses are waking up to the fact we do NOT have representative government anymore. I mean, most people knew it deep down, but would bury their head in the sand and pretend otherwise, because accepting the fact/reality of it, really comes with some difficult thoughts to wrap your head around. It’s so in-your-face at this point, even the most ardent jingoists are having a hard time swallowing the shit sandwich.
‘Our democracy’, our means oligarchs and plutarchs ruling in accordance with their goals and whims.
Unless you are an oligarch and plutarch there is no sense in voting.
I will not legitimize an illegitimate proccess.
Or illegitimate government.
TINVOWOOT.
At some point, even a slave understands, he has no chance in a rigged game.
Since all politics are local, I still vote. I cannot influence anything in Mordor-On-The-Potomac. So, I will be casting my vote against RISCH and FULCHER, who are owned by AIPAC. However, I will NEVER vote for any member of the Socialism-Abortion Party or an “Idaho Independent”, which is just a closet Democrat.
Here in the Gem State, the forces of darkness spearheaded by the same type of demonic bints and beta males who made up the Lindsay Clancy “Jury” have managed to forge enough signatures to put abortion and infanticide on the ballot after it was banned. If I only cast my vote against Proposition 1, I have done my duty as a citizen to stop the forces of Baal and Moloch.
As I have posted here before, the enemy is working in Kootenai County and other areas of my state to turn Idaho blue. They infiltrate library boards, school boards, city councils, and county commissions. I refuse to cut off my nose to spite my face and stay home. It is as simple as that.
Same here. I’ve considered not voting but there are a small handful of people worth electing. Ken Paxton running in Texas – he’s got my vote.
And I do realize it’s broken beyond fixing most likely and understand others reasoning. But that’s not me.
Wonder why none of the choices were: Because It doesnt matter, They all are owned by the same people and NOTHING will change…
If you still beleive in a corrupt system exactly which of us is the fool?
We all know what it will take and yet NOTHING is happening not even protests. What does that tell you?
The FBI thinks beastiality is fine for new hires, if thats not enough proof for you, No one can help you save yourself…
I’ll cast my vote for Nobody.
Nobody always keeps their promises.
Nobody will refuse to raise taxes.
Nobody will close the borders and deport all illegals.
Nobody will shutdown the surveillance state.
Nobody will refuse to accept foreign donations.
Nobody will put America First over all other nations and get us out of all foreign entanglements and bring our troops home.
Nobody will get rid of all government waste and parasitic agencies.
Yep, my vote goes to Nobody.
They forgot “voting for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil”. That should have been #1 on the list.
I will only vote for constitutional amendments and any non uni party. They can all go to burn in hell. I have sacrificed enough for these phonies. And the judges who will uphold the constitution
