    Sure vote, but don’t fool yourselves that it has a very significant influence. The degree of manipulation by gerrymandering, partisan structures, bias toward rural southern states in the electoral college, and billionaire corporate dark money spending leaves the actual accuracy of voting in question.

      Voting is basically the little brother playing the video game in “2 player” mode even though the controller is not plugged in scenario. That’s what being working class in the US feels like lol
