I haven’t voted in years after reading the argument that voting mainly serves to slot you into a cohort, making it easier for governments and corporations to profile you. Recently I heard someone argue the opposite angle: don’t vote because none of the politicians deserve you. A comedian mocked that stance as basically holding your breath when you are angry.
Now I’m conflicted because both arguments feel compelling in different ways. What are your strongest arguments for voting, or against voting?
The left should be running primaries against DINOs like Hakeem and Schumer. The GOP enforces discipline on their electeds, meanwhile the democrat base is disciplined and lectured by their electeds.
