I've been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can't believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C'mon guys

it's almost like the US is running a software written in the 1700s and that stopped receiving regular updates around the 1960s

That’s… actually not a bad way to describe it.

Also note that we stopped updating our BIOS in 1929, which is the direct cause of this.
