like i cannot stress enough. voting is the most boring and basic part of living in a democracy. you should vote because you're only asked to do it once every several years.

if you dont like the main parties, vote for another one or spoil your ballot. they're only listening to votes. if you want a mainstream party to move to the left, vote for a party that is further left. even if that party has no chance of winning. because they're only listening to votes. that is how quantitative data works. you cannot extract anything from data you didn't collect.

if you don't vote you're excluding yourself from the sample and saying 'it's cool if you dont listen to me im gonna sit this one out'. voting is basically just taking attendance. that's it. politics is what happens in between elections and you should participate in that too.

#like idk what to tell u bud. sorry it's boring and sucks.#also if anyone tells you your voice is worthless unless you're part of the winner's circle who gets to crush their opponents underfoot #you are being radicalised. or recruited into a cult.#none of this is glorious. it's very fucking boring. and so painfully slow.#the glorious revolution is not coming - certainly not without extreme violence and upheaval.#and you're kidding yourself if you think you won't be hurt too #pol
