Ok, don't assume I'm a Seppo. I vote often, and in local, state, and federal elections. I don't believe my vote is the be all and end all. I go to protests, I participate in my union and have used safety law to force my workplace into protecting its workers.
And you know what? The alt right continues to grow. This problem is bigger than a single vote every 4 years and the Americans are finding out far too late the damage caused by Reagan and Bush. The time to act was 20 to 40 years ago, it's been far too late for decades and only now you blame voter apathy instead of how horrible the Dems are and how fundamentally broken the American system is. J6 should have been the wake up that votes no longer mattered and that direct action is required.
Maga figured this out, when will you?
