MODERATORS
I always vote, local, state, and federal. I would never vote for candidates who specifically are out to destroy things, or do austerity measures. I also don't vote by party, but by values.
Because few people vote in my area, my votes have enormous impacts on society at large, which feels uniquely powerful.
I love the woods a lot, so I voted for a candidate that wanted to preserve them. My singular vote alone counted as 2% of the entire state, and the pro-Muir candidate won. And that was me alone, I also talked to friends and family about voting, which they did.
