    Except a chunk of coal has uses. An uncast vote has absolutely zero. Your vote is either +1, 0, or - 1 to a candidate (zero being not voting or third party). Not voting makes you complicit regardless. It could prevent one person from being elected. You’re always complicit. If you’re paying taxes you’re complicit.

    As it turns out, we live in a society, and your at least partially responsible for what happens in that society no matter what you do.

    Vote in your primaries and get involved with other things too, but not voting is an action that makes you complicit with either side being elected. At least voting for someone has the chance of losing and you not having been a part of it.

      You have yet to understand the power of a 0 throw.

      I’m not doing nothing. I’m not passively doing the worst.

      I’m flipping the monopoly board.

        you’re not flipping the monopoly board… you’re passing on your turn and all that does is ensure that someone else decides for you

          No, don’t you get it? They’re absolutely a revolutionary. We will tell tales of their societal impact for generations.
