        I read it as it’s not up to somebody else to decide if your choice of vote is a waste.

        It’s up to each person to decide what to do with their own vote.

        Sure, they’re free to say it and the other person is free to point out that it’s not up to “Anonymous Internet Person” to decide what is the right way for me to vote.

        From my point of view in a system that’s nowehere as undemocratic as the US, these “things are the way they are, so we have to accept these constraints” kind of responses to that post sure look like the kind of passive acceptance of injustice so common in dictatorships.

          It’s one of the possible activities. I’m looking forward to basket weaving.

          Probably a place where there’s a lot of concentration on finding solutions. You know, the final kind?
