I'm just scared that I'll vote for the wrong guy and I don't know if my tiny vote will effect the Masses of people supporting trump!
And I only learned this shit on a online class I took along with my math one that caused me intense stress!

LOVE IS STORED IN THE AXOLOTL!Logically speaking, Daisy, you not voting would be exactly what the Trump voters would love you to do.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?The government actually wants us to not vote at all.
Less voters means less opinions out there means more people with the same opinion relecting the people that they like/they think will pander to them.
Also I'll get as hypebolic as I want.
This is my Hyperbolic Time Chamber and I'm about to go Super Saiyan.

PM box is Closed, Indefinitely Friend Code: 3368-4181-6850Hooray for the need for coalition governments.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?@Ram: Nobody's saying you shouldn't vote. This whole discussion started because I was complaining about people not bothering to vote. It feels like you're drawing conclusions based off of things I said that weren't there to begin with.
What I'm saying is the Senate is a mess and will continue to be a mess unless people start actually paying attention to it.
I mean for fuck's sake we had a period of three weeks or so where the government would rather blame each other and bankrupt the entire country than find middle ground and therefore pay millions of people that desperately need money from their jobs that are cancelled and did nothing wrong. Our senate literally had a lower approval rating than syphilis at one point
@Daisy: You still absolutely need to go out and vote no matter how useless you think your vote is
Because none of my co-workers are going to vote, not appreciate the irony that this statement means 80% of them were not voting and 20% (i.e. me) were.

The way I see it.
The more you know about politics, both in your own home country and abroad, the more depressing it gets. Look at Brazil, look at Poland, look at Hungary. They're all in the middle of horrific government malfeasance and god knows whats. Hell, look at the UK for a much milder example.
But I just can't do that. I can't look at everything and be crushed by it. Where others look at it and feel nothing but apathy, I see potential for improvement. Now, admittedly, that's a US-centric opinion. Poor fuckin' Hungary, but I don't see much potential for improvement there. They're really in for it.
But the US? No, we're not gonna go through hell. We have a hell of a lot of advantages, and we have a pondering but functioning government. We're going to be fine. I guess I just have a tremendous faith in government. The end of the world is not nigh. The US survived fucking Buchanan. We'll survive Trump.
Pessimism doesn't lead to improvement. Optimism doesn't necessarily either, but it has a shot.
I don't think we're fucked. Our system, though deeply flawed, has worked in the past and will continue to work.
