So. Here we are, elections coming up again. But seriously, does anyone feel like their vote actually counts? Feels like no matter who you pick, nothing really changes. The big guys do what they want anyway. Fight me on this, but it seems like a big ol' game and we're just the pawns pretending to call the shots.

It's not just about voting. It's about being active in the process—attend town hall meetings, join local advocacy groups, volunteer for campaigns you believe in. Your vote is the finish line of a long race that has many checkpoints. Stay involved and make every step count.

I feel like if we believe voting doesn't matter, we've already lost. It's exactly what the 'big guys' want us to think. Yes, the system isn't perfect, but giving up completely ensures nothing will change. Our ancestors fought for this right; let's not waste it.

Local elections, man. That's where your vote can REALLY swing things. Yeah, the big presidential stuff feels like one grain of sand on a beach, but when you're talking school boards, mayors, city council? You'd be surprised how few votes it takes to make a difference there.

Totally rigged game I'm telling ya. Except, here's the kicker: by not voting you are actually playing right into their hands. They thrive on disillusionment. If you want to take the power back, you've got to play their game and win. It's all about numbers, and every single vote messes with their equations.

Your point has merit, the system is indeed flawed. Voter apathy is a tool that reinforces the status quo. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. We need systemic reform, but that won't happen if we disengage. Voting matters because it's one of the few powers we hold collectively. Use it strategically.

I get where ur coming from. feels like my vote is just a drop in the ocean, ya know? but I still think it's worth the shot, cause if everyone thought their vote didn't matter and nobody voted, then for sure we'd just hand over control to whoever wants to take it without a fight
