      Voting gives us no control with the current party system. We need ranked choice voting, end campaigns and advertising. Only 1 website will have the candidates and their platforms, tax funded only, anyone who wants to run can run and ranked choice voting will make the actual most popular acceptable candidate win.

        Yes, but until we have rcv, we make do with the system we have, flaws and all. Unless you’re suggesting we don’t vote at all because we are unhappy with the system…?

      People have been saying that for years. Why not make voting something we don’t need to get out to do though? I think it’s ridiculous and frankly anti-democratic to only count votes from people that travel to a polling station in the 21st century.
