      Yes, and also it’s still the case not voting for the candidate you prefer (not like, prefer) over the other, makes it more likely for the other to win.

      The voting system is super-duper flawed, but you don’t win by not playing.

        It doesn’t matter which one I prefer. They will both run the country into the ground. The decisions are made at a much higher level than the presidency.

          Then you are willfully ignoring the powers that your government has.

          You’re not wrong to say it’s all being influenced to the point of almost total control by the people with the money, but it’s not correct to say that both parties are equivalent and will pursue the same policies. Or that voting makes no difference.

          It absolutely does matter, and you’re either being disingenuous, or getting high on some copium.

          Please go vote, Jesus
