All choices on the ballot suck, so I should just get myself shot by the fascists? I don’t see any good options. My fucking ballot had 17 elections where a republican was running unopposed. Staying home means I get the worst possible option. Welcome to Texas where the morons think Talarico is a communist (would be nice if only it were true).
The biggest problem is that humans are not capable of self governance. The sociopaths are the ones most interested in aggrandizing themselves through political office.

I don’t need to be governed. do you?
What politicians want us to believe:
Voting: changes the system
Doing politics: it’s for professionals
How it really works:
Voting: the possibility to kick bad persons out
Doing politics: changes the system
Only locally, at least here in the US.
Nationally you have no power politically unless you’re a billionaire or available for purchase by a billionaire. Thankfully, at least locally, good things are still possible.
