    I don’t think you’re entirely wrong about none of them truly giving a shit about average Americans, but I would love it if you would reconsider the utility of voting at all. I’m a woman in Ohio with a trans kid, and the outcome of the last few state elections has directly affected us. Just like they weren’t playing around when they said they were coming for our rights, please know that they’re not kidding when they talk about banning pornography and birth control.

    It’s one thing to not be actively helping as much as they promised (which is absolutely a thing that democrats do, I’m totally with you on that!), but it’s another thing entirely to be actively working to turn the United States into some kind of christofascist oligarchy. Please, please vote.

        Missouri resident here. We only got medical and recreational marijuana legalized through ballot initiatives because we have a backward state leglistaure like you! Minority rule sucks.
