I still do not understand the people who say voting doesn’t matter…why else would there be a concerted effort to gerrymander and redistrict and purge voter rolls and create draconian ID laws? (Mostly targeting black voters and majority black districts)
Isn’t it kind of insulting to the people who fight for an actual democracy, to the places in the world without free and fair elections, to the people (particularly black, native, and disabled people) who are regularly purposefully excluded from voting, to just say it doesn’t matter? How the fuck do you view your own inaction as some type of moral high ground? How did we get from “the Democratic Party has major issues in regards to corporate donors and neoliberalism” to “both parties are equally bad”
I am not playing this game with you. It does make a difference who is in power. It does make a difference who draws election maps, who sits on the courts, who decides funding, who enforces laws (and what laws they do or do not enforce).
