i think the thing with elections is that while they can change and improve things, any one persons individual absitnance is neglegable, especially on a national level. if many people do not vote though, that does have an impact.

so if i chose not to vote but did not tell anyone about it, there would be basically no difference, while me talking about not voting or advocating against voting could meaningfully contribute.

i don't know how to squeeze that into a shower analogie...

anyway, everyone should go and vote for what i think is the best!

here is a margaret killjoy quote

“I’m going to choose the person who represents my interests in this grand democratic project.” I enter the booth thinking “with this one hour of my day, I’ll express my opinion about the terrain on which I’d like to keep fighting for a better world.” And I’d rather be fighting the democrats than the fascists.
