My hottest take is that voting actually does matter and can actually make a difference.
The rot in the Democratic Party is deep, but if it really was as blackpilled as some people say, there wouldn’t be a need for massive lobbying or voter suppression.
“Voting third party is a waste of a vote” is just an incredibly successful psyop to convince people to be happy with literal evil being perpetuated by the maintained status quo of the two parties
