Seems like everyone forgets their civics class but voting for a president is not the place to make your voices heard for issues.
You'll typically have the top three choices: A democrat A republican A throwaway third choice
For most it will be voting for the lesser evil. Because the alternatives can mean rapid stagflation, war in the middle east, supporting paedophiles, and a myriad of other problems, while the other is essentially maintaining the status quo.
For proper change you have to organize locally, vote for local elections and keep pushing your representatives to represent you throughout the year. By the time primaries come around, typically candidates are already known figures and the party points are gathered from data throughout the year.
Honestly, after a certain point I feel like all the posts about people saying they would rather not vote at all despite the two distinct choices are some sort of psyops campaign to bring chaos to the world.
I can't wrap my head around people seriously being more okay with this criminal in office than an imperfect candidate.
You know many people who don't vote, it's a third of the population. Why on God's Green Earth would you choose "I feel like it's a psy-op!" as a possibility?
A third of people don't want to be involved in politics at all, and more join them every year. That's not due to psy-ops, that's due to generations of bOtH pArTiEs ignoring what voters want.
Something like 70% of people want universal healthcare. Still can't get it. SEVENTY PERCENT.
About 90% of Democrats want universal healthcare. It doesn't matter.
I vote, but just for cheap laughs.
Except when the Democrat party orchestrates the primaries anyway.
