    Get all your not voting and apethetic friends to vote. Have a ballot party if your state does mail-in still.

      I’m not voting for President for a very simple reason: I don’t live in a swing state, so it’s objectively a waste of time for me, lol.

      This is true for the majority of US citizens. As long as we have an Electoral College system, it will remain true.

      Ranked choice voting would be nice, too, to keep third parties from being anything other than spoilers.

        The presidential election will not be the only thing on your ballot. Please vote for local offices, school boards, initiatives, etc. It’s important even in solidly blue states.

          There is a reason I explicitly said “voting for President”, and not ‘voting that day’ or ‘going to the polls that day’.

          Simple-minds without reading comprehension skills behind my downvotes once again, it seems, lol.

          They try, and most of them get caught. Because our election systems are some of the best in the world, despite what MAGA wants people to believe.
