Man, if you have the power to change the world as you know it, why won't you?? Not voting is not like rooting for your team to win - but in this case you can actually change the result!
I get what your saying but it means nothing to me it's clear that the college electrical dictates who gets it that has always been the case.
I watch the electrial to see who wins it was clear that bush Obama and trump were going to win because they are basically picked for us.
Worst part is we have two parties that are similar but have divided the nation so much it's almost a death sentence if you mention your liberal or conservative.
I would want all citizens to be united I don't care what race sexual orientation or religion I'm for strict immigration reform but I also what church and state to stay seperate I'm pro life/pro choice hell Don't give a shit what a woman dose with her body so long as it's still ethical I am for a strong military but I also feel that it should be used for national defense as well as helping out other nations when it's really needed I love weed and want it legalized I'm for criminal justice reform but I'm also for the death penalty.
The list is long but you get the point.
I can agree with what both parties want to push I didn't think Obama was 100% bad I don't even think trump is 100% bad hell I'd even take Bernie because he has some good ideas.
But it would make nobody happy if either side wins and for some reason people are ok with that I'm not and it pisses me off that people are ok with it.
It's not a matter of "sides" for me, it's a matter of people's wellbeing. I don't really know where the term 'libtard' came from but I'm positive it was from someone who doesn't understand and/or doesn't acknowledge the concept of equality/inequality and who can't give 2 fucks about anyone but themself.
I'm extremely privileged and have absolutely no complaints about my life, but thousands of people are living in dire need in "America - the Land of Opportunity" (let's be real, that ship has sailed, the American dream is dead).
I don't vote for myself, I vote for others having better lives.
I have voting rights both in the US and Brazil (actually, it's a civic duty over here, not just an option!) and I always do so.
That is a great question in and of itself (who do you vote for? Yourself or the less fortunate? That tells you what kind of human being you are, IMHO). Our (other) country has elected our version of Trump recently and I've been disgusted ever since, just as much as with Trump..
People should vote. At least those who are educated on what each party does what for whom.
You actively get to choose what party you are in (there a lot more than 2) green party gets people into the house and Senate occasionally.
Two parties maximizes the chances that they will try to get the moderates of the other side. There are people who voted for obama and then choosed to vote for trump.
Its needed for each party to try to get as many moderates and independents as possible because their own party votes for them anyway. Trump currently is the best candidate going for moderates.
The left is in a little party civil war because one side wants to go so far radically left its leaving the moderates out of the equation. The moderates on the left realize this and is actively trying to do fire control.
Trump, Bernie Sanders, 2020

The last part about not voting for yourself.
As well as the part were you said it's not a matter of sides and it being a matter of people's wellbeing.

Doesn't that make you want to vote?!?
