    It doesn’t slow anything, there’s an option of no harm but liberals are terrified of using it because the current system benefits THEM so much. All the harm that trump has created will be kept in place by Democrats once he’s out, the exact same way they kept most of his first term stuff under Biden. Their ratchet effect always prevents Republican actions from ever slipping back.

            Nothing. And that’s what we all have to do, since voting doesn’t fix 99% of the problems we need to solve. It’s like trying to build muscle by studying math. Will studying math help you when you need to track your progress and understand angles and pulleys? Yes. But studying math isn’t going to build muscle. Nothing is stopping me from going to the gym and also studying math, but studying math isn’t actually the thing that will build muscle.

            Voting isn’t solving any of our problems. Can it help a little bit with some of them? Maybe. But we need to be honest about what it will solve.

                Hey, don’t let me stop you from signing up for trigonometry in order to build strength.

                I’ll be at the gym.

                    Why stop at two things? You could also be praying, buying crystals, and never changing your lucky underwear
