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

Okay I mean this is marginally better, at least you're voting, but still until some sort of change happens a vote third party is a vote thrown away

I'm not suggesting voting third party or protest voting, I personally plan on voting for whoever has the Democrat party's backing come the general. However, I do want to ask, what do you believe is a realistic plan for gaining that change?

The people that are voting third party or not voting are doing so because they believe that's the best option for change. Even if I disagree with that, how can we show them a better path?
