Yeah this is bullshit and I question the sincerity of anyone saying this. We know empirically that areas that tend to vote left-wing have a harder experience in voting compared to areas that don't. If voting didn't matter there wouldn't be a targeted effort since 1865 to make it more difficult for some groups over other groups.

People have quite literally risked getting into sent to federal, rape in the shower, prison for decades to prevent black people from voting. You don't do that if you think voting doesn't matter.

I'm not denying many people care about voting. I'm saying due to corporatocracy it is irrelevant.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Your vote is important.

Hey good job not responding at all to what I wrote. I am definitely convinced now

You wrote about "ancient" history. Your points were correct but irrelevant.

On January 21, 2010, the court issued a 5โ€“4 decision in favor of Citizens United that struck down the BCRA restrictions on independent political expenditures by corporations as violations of the First Amendment,

It doesn't matter who wins if the corporations have bought both sides.

Yes, unfortunately. The corporatocracy wins.

But socially there is certainly a difference and voting does matter. But that is a distraction.

Are you going to not respond to what I wrote or spew your opinion?

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No you didn't and I am done wasting time with you
