    I am really slow, so thanks for taking the time. But, let’s say you’re a socialist, and both candidates are capitalists. So you decide that neither candidate upholds your interests. How would any “encouragement” to vote change your mind?

    In the case where neither candidate represents your political positions, not voting is an act of rebellion.

            That’s what the duopoly system wants you to do. Blame other voters when it doesn’t give you better candidates.

              Well enjoy the 4 years of Trump this buy’s you, let me know how clean your hands feel afterwards. It’ll be impressive to hear the mental gymnastics. You know if the accelerated climate change doesn’t kill us first.

                I’m voting for Biden. But if he loses, I won’t blame voters like you for berating fellow citizens for wrongthink, and depressing voter turnout. I’ll blame the duopoly system for giving us shitty candidates.
