If you believe your vote doesn't matter, you either believe: all votes are not equal (within a given election).

Yeah, like I explained in my original comment in great detail exactly how and why certain votes are not equal.

I struck a nerve with the redditor comment considering you responded to that 4 word sentence but not the paragraph explaining basic American Electoral structure.

the elections are entirely rigged

DING DING DING! One hand washes the other, the Overton Window ratchets to the right with no pushback from the democrats, and this was ALL rigged from the start to ensure the settlers never had to give up the power they stole, raped, murdered, and genocided for. The problem is, you can never accept this answer; because it would mean confronting the difficult idea that everything you were ever taught as a child in the west was a fucking lie, meant to keep you thoughtlessly benefiting off their system.

And since you are benefiting, and have been benefiting for so long, you'll do any thing, and throw any one under the bus to keep those benefits pouring. I don't even know why I'm wasting the electrons when I know you're just going to posture like the insufferable liberal smuggard you've come off as thus far, I'm going to ache for the death of your country and the falsehoods your leaders claim as morals, and we'll both have gotten nowhere but closer to the heat death of the universe-- or maybe just the climate apocalypse that your leaders seem hellbent on ignoring as we sail right past 2C this year. 25 years ahead of schedule.
