I keep seeing people drag voting. I get it. It sucks that candidates really aren’t looking out for your interests. It sucks even more when you are disenfranchised due to gerrymandering and voter suppression efforts.
That being said, there is a reason that unions endorse candidates.
It’s a hell of a lot easier to put out a fire when you don’t have people actively throwing gasoline on it. Even someone standing there doing absolutely nothing is more helpful than active sabotage. Would a fully equipped fire department be the best option? Sure, of course, but that’s why you mobilize and vote in the primaries.
At this point in the cycle, we have the candidates that we are going to have and most of them aren’t the best, but for the love of god, just stop the hemorrhaging and buy some time. I guarantee that your boss is going to vote. So are all of the business investors and the 1%. If nothing else, vote as a giant middle finger to them. Even if it’s futile, make it a damned challenge. Don’t just resign and give up.
