I didn't say voting fixes anything. It doesn't, especially in first past the post two party systems.
I'm saying that the idea that nothing changes is only something you could say if you aren't a member of any of the many demographics that are actively getting their rights stripped away.
Voting may not do much to make things better, but it can absolutely make it magnitudes worse for vulnerable folk.
Absolutely. We don't get to vote for "better" in America. We get "less worse" and "more worse." Voting for less worse just makes sense.
But if you convince people they're voting for "better" and they don't get it, I don't blame them for not voting again.
