    I don’t care. Popular vote doesn’t get presidents elected, and nobody local ever seems both interested and capable of making significant positive changes, at least that I’ve seen. It largely feels like theater, and in a race you can’t influence between two people pledging to continue genocide I can see why people would throw their hands up and say fuck everything.

      Sure, but local offices have a much larger effect on most people’s lives and that’s where voting can make a change.
