    It’s why I stopped voting, because everybody else is voting for either side any way.

      Your vote is yours to throw away if you want to.

      But it’s kind of an insult to everyone who fought to let you do that.

        No, what is an insult is the American electoral system where at the end of the day, your individual vote means nothing. Your so called representatives do not work for you. They only represent you only paper. They are there to enrich themselves through corporate dollar and stocks, because capitalism and individualism.

        The issue with that sentiment is that a significant amount of the population simply can’t afford to be picky. They buy the cheapest available version of whatever they need because that’s what they can afford. All of the power of consumer choice is slowly being stripped away as more and more people are pushed into poverty, and that’s by design.
