While you might be right, it is a civic duty to vote. Your mindset is too dangerous, which is why the right-wing trolls try pushing it. Voting even why you know it won’t make a difference is the most basic thing you can do to push back. Who knows what could happen if we get enough people out of that mindset. Simply voting, regardless of who for, is an event that every American should take pride in.

Voting gives you the right to complain. If you don’t vote, you lose that right.

We need as many votes against the bad man as possible to help counter his lies about stolen elections. Yes, it matters that hard numbers can be referenced when backing up facts. I don’t like the guy I have to vote for but I’ll still vote for him even in my deeply blue state (Calif)

Might nudge Ohio blue a little. Unlikely to change Ohio’s end result, since Vance is from Ohio, but better than not trying.

Find a little pride in doing your part to make the country better.

Every vote for Biden in Steubenville is another vote that somebody in Cleveland doesn’t have to counter, so yes, vote.

The electrical vote is state by state (with two states, Maine and Nebraska divying all but two of those votes one per congressional district), so your vote in a swing state matters.

Getting you to feel like your vote is meaningless is how they win.

You should absolutely vote. It should be considered a responsibility by all citizens!

Yes it absolutely makes a difference. Also make sure you are voting in all elections, local elections are just as important as the national elections.

Yes! Downballot offices usually have a greater effect on your life than higher ones, in fact.

And I guarantee you that if every voter who thought their vote didn’t count went out and voted, they damn well would count. The turnout last election was 46% of elligible voters. 46%! Half of us who could vote, didn’t! 53% is enough to swing any state.

A vote for Biden is a vote against trump Where as a vote for no one is a vote that benefits trump because there’s no one voting against him

Yes. Voting is the only way your voice is heard. By not voting, the red majority grows and you effectively do not exist to the political system.

Voting is how you narrow the margins and increase the popular vote. Voting in your local elections is where you have a better say in how things that immediately affect you area. Voting in local and state referendums is also powerful, as it directly affects your local laws and many times can pass or fail by only tens of votes. It might feel hopeless but it is absolutely important that you vote in EVERY SINGLE ELECTION that you are eligible for.

The more deeply and unanimously red your local lawmakers consider their electorate, the more confident they will be pushing right and far right legislation and building MAGA cultishness. It won’t change who’s elected, but it can change how your local lawmakers think about what their community wants.

I’m in a similar situation and will vote more according to my actual politcal preferences than vote blue no matter who. Edit: The left will never rise above this vote blue no matter who statement unless we start voting for the future that we wish to see.

How do red states become purple states become blue states?

Azzu ,

Uuuuh byyy… Republicans not voting anymore?

Nemo ,

Usually because they died, given the age skew on the current parties.
