If you add all registered Dems and independents it still doesn’t reach the number of Republicans that actually voted for Trump.

So again, not part of the problem, Disenfranchised.

Because it’s tiny not because of the voting.

Wouldn’t want to live in that town

Mostly, they don’t

I live in a deep red state. Not a swing state. Not a questionable state. A state where registered red voters outnumber blue voters 2-1.

I’m not saying that this applies to everyone but even if blue had an excellent turnout including me and reds had a bad turnout, it would still be a red win with a ratio 3-2.

I’m not voting not because I don’t care, not because I don’t think it’s the right thing to do, not for some moral high ground, but because it actually doesn’t matter. I am disenfranchised, I accept it, I make the best decisions I can knowing that.

I’m sure some will still tell me I’m wrong but I’m going to focus on my own interests and mental health.

If you are in a swing state, please vote. If not for yourself, for me. I’ll consider it a favor.

(I have good reasons for living here. If you tell me I should move then why don’t you move to a swing state?)
