Ants are a bad example though as ants lack the physical capabilities to feel emotions, they don't have self awareness and may not even be able to feel pain. Also we didn't create ants and their properties.

You are registered with your name and address by birth and are required to update your information if you move. It's actually pretty close to the UK system I believe, just that it's automatic and not called voter registration.
I had been doing that since 2018 and this year I realized I hadn't booted to Windows for years and uninstalled it.
I'm not a Linux expert at all, I use the GUI for 99% of tasks and I'm having a great time.
Oh so it's basically the same as in Germany, only here you are required to register if you move and it's not called voter registration. Thanks!
Oh I hadn't considered that, thanks!
A first past the post voting system that over-represents rural areas
The extremely conservative US mindset
The fact that right wingers are somewhat unified and will always vote for their candidate no matter what while progressives are split.
The fundamental problem is that you can't possibly hope to boil politics down into two parties. Republicans are far right while Democrats are liberal conservatives. There exist leftist ideas within the democratic party but they don't really have a voice. What you need to fix this mess is proportional voting, a less powerful president and preferably one who is elected by a parliament coalition and not directly.
Until you have that, the only sane thing to do is vote for the less insane party.
Stupid question, but do you have to register in advance to be able to vote? Why is that? In Germany, every citizen eligible to vote gets the necessary documents automatically by mail.
Not voting for Biden makes it worse than it is right now. If Biden is not going to be president, the utter maniac Trump is. You can oppose the war on Gaza and still see this simple truth.
The only other option is indefinitely worse, so the responsible thing to do is voting for Biden. You can still oppose the war on Gaza. Protest it. Be loud. Fight to change the shitty undemocratic voting system of the US. Not voting Biden will not save a single life in Gaza. You are the one who needs to wake up.
So you base your voting decision on an abstracted philosophical argument? Maybe take a good look at the US voting system and ask yourself what happens when Trump wins because people like you upheld their "principles".
Your comment reeks of privilege. Millions of Americans can't afford the chance to not vote Biden. Not voting Biden will also actively worsen the situation in Gaza.
I have considered that. There is a lot of evil (or suffering) that nobody directly causes and especially not because they're evil. Why is there depression for example? Or cancer?
