    “Oh wow, a statistical golden goose! Welp, that fully justifies my beliefs surrounding this. Looks guys, this one time, voting mattered! That means it always matters! And anyone who tells you otherwise is a bad person! Shame!”

    I didn’t vote for Harris or Trump

    My county still went blue by thousands

    My state still went red by tens of thousands

    Me protest voting didn’t matter.

    My vote didn’t matter.

      If you’re in a fucked up country with first past the post ballot counting, I can see where you’re coming from. The #1 thing people in Canada or the USA should be fighting for is electoral reform.

      Me protest voting didn’t matter.

      It’s funny, because I’m deep in the beating heart of blood red Texas. But every time I fail to vote for a Bill White, Henry Cuellar, or Kamala Harris, I’m told it is my fault that Democrats can’t keep control of Congress, the Presidency, or the Courts.

      When I ask for a candidate that isn’t shamelessly corrupt and favorable towards genocide, I’m told that I’m a purity troll who has been tricked by evil Chinese/Russian/Iranian bot farms into opposing The Most Progressive Ballot Since FDR.

      After I campaign for candidates I like, I’m a do nothing heckler. After I march in rallies, I’m told I didn’t show up for minorities or women or immigrants. After I donate tens thousands of dollars to sympathetic campaigns, I’m told that there’s no place for broke loser dropouts in the party.

      Can’t imagine why liberals keep losing, though. They’re such a progressive Big Tent party.
