I’m close to being done with this failed experiment of what this great system should have been.

What’s your best argument for continuing to believe in the USAs election system?

The only case is that’s it’s genuinely the last hope before you really see the real crap show
Lots of rough talkers here, but they have no idea what hard times really look like

Our system sucks, and maybe voting in general does too, but so far as I've found, it sucks the least.

My recommendation would be for everyone to be as enthusiastic and eager to vote in the upcoming elections and then have this conversation after that. We haven’t had that critical and telling follow up Presidential election since the 2020 situation, and I don’t think you can actually find any pattern(s) without at least one follow up sample. Which that follow up sample won’t even be reliable unless that strong, enthusiastic and aggressive voting effort takes place…..as opposed to an artificially inferior effort due to too many people having given up because “what’s the use”.

No matter who is elected... they eventually always fall in line under the boot of the unelected in dc.

Just need to cross our fingers and hope that eventually the future generations of the unelected in DC will start trying to better our country.

This is my last try.

If that old fool wins after his performance, anyone would be a fool to vote after 2024.

That is their goal. No point in voting if the govt has already determined the outcome. DC is in control.

I’m not sure it does sadly….but as my dad used to say, if you don’t exercise your right and duty to vote, then don’t be moaning and beeeching later about what may be happening.

Every person that wants to vote should have to go to their predetermined voting location and vote in person. Make it a week long process versus a single day. Check ID's as they do to get on a flight. If you can't make it then that's on you. If you want to vote bad enough you will schedule it in.

I know they do but based on current reality. Why not do just that?

If a few less people voted we would've gotten faggy Gillum instead of Ron DeSantis. Florida would've been a completely different place especially during the pandemic. We've since had more and more like minded people move here, Ron has cleaned up Broward, and a once swing state is now deep red.

What really trips me out about NY and Florida is the fact that the Jewish population votes heavily Democrat. It blows my mind. If the Dems had their way there would be zero support for Israel.

You vote for bad or worse.
Personally, I'd rather just the bad.

This is a dumb/old argument.

They spend OUTRAGEOUS amounts on election campaigns. Both sides. For what?

Voting matters. At the least, they're counted, and you get the illusion of choice between A and B.

Trump was NEVER supposed to be allowed in their game. Yet he won. Imagine why the entire d.c. apparatus has been criminally villainous to him. Why do they fear him? Bc he's not a part of their club.

Bc they do count votes.

The democrat cheat lead has always been about a 5% margin.

With all the illegals they're flooding us with, that is gonna change.

Make a case for why you think millions of people risk serious personal injury to show up to a polling place and vote illegally. They do so not knowing the name of the person they are stealing a vote from, they don’t know if the person already voted, but yet they take the risk to gain just one vote in an election that has almost 200 million votes.

There is no logic behind the fraudulent vote argument.
