I voted in 2020. I felt the urgency, the crossroads of political narrative, and I didn't like what the left was pushing. So I waited in line for four fricking hours and voted for Trump.

Then one of two things happened:

Either the highest voting turnout ever said "let's elect a potato"

OR

The biggest scam in this country's history happened and both sides of the aisle basically said "it's fine, whatever"

So given that one of those two things happened, and is likely to happen again, why the hell should I even bother? Either I am out numbered by morons or I am participating in a rigged system. From my perspective on this, nothing will change the way I want it to without something drastic happening. Why should I not just sit it all out and focus on me and mine?

I will hang up and listen.

One good reason:

If you vote, you make it that much harder to cheat.

The end.

If you're doing something the Commies want you to do then you shouldn't do it.
Get your arse out and vote.

If you vote then you’re more justified in your complaints about the government.

If you didn’t vote don’t complain as you didn’t even try to do anything about the government.

If they are willing to cheat to win, our votes make it exponentially harder to cheat to the extent that they will need to in order to win, and it will exponentially make it more likely that they will be caught doing so.

During mid term elections my longest wait was 2 minutes. For president it was 30 minutes but it was interesting the whole time.
Big sign 'Masks must be worn.' While in a long line I saw a guy come in without one. Old lady at desk told him he must wear. He said 'no.' She ordered him out. I told people around me: 'I think that's illegal.'
Young assistant rushes to phone. I vote and walk out past her as she hangs up.
Me: 'Did you ask about the mask?'
Her: 'Yes, it's illegal to require.'
Me:'Have a nice day.'

Charlie Daniels done told ya....

Well the eagle's been flyin' slow
And the flag's been flyin' low
And a lotta people sayin' that America's
Fixin' to fall

Well, speakin' just for me
And some people from Tennessee
We've got a thing or two to tell you all

This lady may have stumbled
But she ain't never fell
And if the Russians don't believe that
They can all go straight to hell

We're gonna put her feet back
On the path of righteousness and then
God bless America again

Don’t vote…. If you are this weak and simple minded, you should move somewhere where life is harder and might toughen you up for what is to come…

I feel the exact same way. I lived in Seattle when Gregoire recounted magic ballots until she stole the election from Rossi not once but twice, and the GOP did nothing. I watched Coleman get cheated by Franken's magic ballots from afar, while again the GOP did nothing. There's been others, but those stick with me the most. 2020 was the straw that just about broke my voting back. The cheating was so outrageously over the top and my disgust with the GOP for doing nothing about it made me a bit nihilistic as far as voting goes for a while.

I've gone around and around on this in my head. Not voting at all is a stupid solution. Voting harder may not fix anything, but it's all we can do and might make cheating slightly harder.

Primary RINO's whenever possible, not just at the national level, but also at the state level. A lot of supposedly conservative states' legislatures and executives are ok with the steal, so a lot of state legislatures and executives need to be cleaned out as much as DC.

Just go vote whether you like it or not. Maybe it will do some good, maybe it won't, but don't give in and not at least try.

If you haven't looked into the candidates and issues, then don't vote.

One of the worst ideas ever perpetrated on the American public was the push to vote without pushing voter education (on candidates and issues) first. This whole idea that "they should vote even if they don't know whom or what they are voting for because it could get the more interested in learning about issues and candidates the next time" is utter horseshite and has created a massive crowd of low-information voters who view politics through the same lens as drunken European soccer fans view professional teams.

If you've looked into candidates and issues, vote. Not voting means you have no right to bitch when things go bad (even if that bitching is just at yourself for voting for the wrong person/issue).

Your vote would matter in local elections.

You can’t complain about a stolen election if you didn’t vote because they didn’t steal anything from you. I also have the belief that since a lot of military died defending the country, I owe it to them.

If I were to create a social media bot to try to hoodwink Republicans into not voting, it would probably look like the OP.

If you can't think, for yourself, of several reasons to go vote on Tuesday you should have yourself committed to a state institution...cause you are insane!
