Eh, if you're in a red state that doesn't do proportional voting with their electoral college votes, they've got a point.
It's only true because they believe it. Every vote counts, even if it's for a losing candidate. The parties pay attention to the vote totals, where they are winning and losing, and what issues are connecting with voters. The parties may choose to run more moderate candidates in areas that are changing, and will set their platform based on what gets people to the polls.
Even if you're going to lose, you should still show up and vote.
And socialists will always lose out. Everyone is okay with that, for some reason.
Yeah, yeah, we know. But voting for a candidate you know isn't going to win your area must surely feel like pissing into the wind.
You're right, but that's why we should encourage those voters just as much as the swing states.
Oh no, it feels bad to do the right thing
States can change color over a longer time if you dont do that shit. Is calling the candidate KKK/SS a good point?
If you have allowed someone to convince you that your vote doesn't matter, then they have already defeated you, and you have helped them achieve their political objectives.
Democracy cannot work for you if you do not participate in it.
I mean, I don't, but that's because I'm not in the states.
