Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Yeah but if you refuse to take the one step you have that can influence the way the country is run then don't complain. I don't care how much someone thinks or does not think the system is rigged. If your not participating then figure out how your going to make the change you want. I mean whats the point of complaininng about elections if you think they are rigged. If you feel the electoral system is pointless then you should be working outside the electoral system in whatever way you think appropriate. Whats the point of complaining about something you have decided to have nothing to do with?
it can't lol. certainly not at the federal level. i would argue a focus on state and local if anything. the people who refuse to vote aren't refusing to do something that can affect change, they just don't want to participate in the ruse.
and thats a fine opinion (mine differs). I don't know why someone would go vote for local and state positions and just refuse in the federal but that is fine (somewhat. it is stil the only step that migh influence the way its run. again if your not doing it then why are you even discussing the irrelvant thing. rather than complaining you should just be like. it sucks but im not going to revolt and have no control of vote outcome). I don't vote for uncontested positions myself. Local is real improtant and people should not skip the judicial part even though it takes a load of research. I mean im not big on leaving the us because I think we have to fight this but if I felt our democracy did not work at all then 100% I would leave.
