Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Somewhat. Voting makes very little difference at the federal level in the first place, and the huge importance placed on it does placate liberals somewhat.

It also takes very little effort.

Yep, and that's why it's the extent 99.9% of libs are willing to go, and no further.

Right... But unless you're suggesting abolishing voting entirely, none of this suggests that withholding your vote in protest is useful.

I'm suggesting that voting will never be enough.
