    I’m this scenario, voting is just wasted time and energy. At worst, it’s pretending you have any kind of control over your conditions.

      Objectively false.

      Never forget the recent case of Kris Mayes, who refuses to uphold the Arizona supreme court’s sweeping ban of abortion. Kris Mayes only won her 2022 election by 280 votes. Voting changes things.

          literal on-the-ground example of 3.5 million women’s rights being protected

          “anecdote”

          be so fucken for real.

          literally ask yourself: what kind of evidence would you require to disprove your foregone conclusion? you are deceiving yourself. the definition of bad faith, and i don’t take that term lightly. quite disturbing to see.

            I directly attacked your argument. I actually think you’re pretty cool being the same guy who updated a comment with an extra source since snopes got snoped a decade ago.

            I have a very strong suspicion that votes are just something the ruling class points at so we go after each other rather than them. It all reads like allegory meant to sway our opinions to are with their methodology.
