I rewatched this video for the first time in a while today. There were some pretty good comments NGL.

    I understand what you’re saying. I think I just got some lib brainworms. Even though I know voting means so little, I think its the right move to vote.

    And yeah, I get all the way the system isn’t legitimate. It is what it is. I can participate while advocating for its change.

      When I’m less drunk I’ll come type up a constructive critique of the “I think it’s the right move” position. I have more I could expound upon regarding that legitimacy matter.

        I’ll be happy to hear it.

        And I think I get the legitimacy matter. Between the two party system, winner takes all, electoral college, lobbyist, the money needed to run, massive campaign donations, gerrymandering, voting intimidation, and… shit… probably a lot more that I’m blanking on. There just a lot of bullshit in the US voting system.
