    Thanks man. There’s too many people on this site telling one not to vote because of cocked up ideas of what america is and isn’t. It may be a flawed democracy, but at least it’s a democracy. I hope you live to see your vote count someday too

      Thank you, I hope so too. The good thing about autocratic regimes is that they tend to die with their leaders, and Putin isn’t going to live forever. It’s a small consolation when you look at all the lives that are lost meanwhile, along with millions of people’s lives being destroyed and their futures taken.

      And yes, America’s voting system is awful. But ffs please go vote. It’s something. It’s not great but it is something. It isn’t nothing.
