    Well, the only two candidates that have a chance of winning barring special circumstances are Trump and Biden, so you either vote for one of them, vote pointlessly for someone who you know won’t win, or don’t vote. Take your pick. In my opinion, if you take the second option, you should save your time and energy and just take the third. The second option has no effect whatsoever when it comes to changing things. Not even when Ross Perot got almost 20% of the vote.

      Exactly. This is why I’m so pissed because I’m forced to pick between 2 bad choices and depending on what state I live in my vote may not have the same value as another state’s vote… And yet we go about our lives everyday complaining about how shitty it is and never doing anything about it. I don’t know how people function with things being this way.
