    Just went to vote saw two people besides me voting. Pretty pathetic. Voting is the only civic power we have, use it.

    Do you want a cookie? It's early voting. Polls are open everywhere and open all day. You won't find lines.

    I have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than my vote mathematically making a difference in an election

    da1 needs thread starting privileges revoked. This is an example of why. Anecdotal evidence based on early voting? Terrible logic, terrible thread.

    If it's not a Presidential election year, people don't give a rat's ass. Even though individual voters have much more power and influence over local elections, representatives, and ballot measures.

    I can't vote. I've been disenfranchised by the man. Mostly the white man I am referring to.
