"But I did refuse to vote, cuz that would just be perpetuating a broken system that doesn't give us any good choices."
"Oh... how's the system doing now?"
"Still broken."
"And the choices?"
"Still no good."
"So, it worked?"
"Not really, but I did get to just sit on my ass and post memes."
“But I voted every 4 years for decades and it only got worse. Eventually I realised doing the same thing was never going to get a different result, especially when my voice was taken for granted”
“Did voting help”
“No, but I got to feel good for myself like I was on the winning team”
