Ignore the apathetic doomers. Voting requires little effort for most. A lot of places support early voting.

Go do it. At a minimum they HEAVILY impact your local communities. Even if you don't think they impact the larger USA.

    Early voting makes it the easiest. For some reason, a lot of people wait to vote the day of and stand in line forever....

    I trust it kinda. CO mails out ballots. The entire process send you updates to email or text, your choice.

    I do drop my ballot at a dedicated ballot drop box instead of mailing though.

    Yeah, I've voted every general election and primary since I was allowed. There's more that needs to be done: education, convincing friends and neighbors, protest, and yes revolution, I've done most of those too.

    But voting is the bare minimum duty of citizens in a democracy. I've spent hours in line to vote, it's nothing compared to my mom who was a regular poll worker. I actually find in person voting nice, but living in the PNW where it's mail first I do think every state should adopt a process of sending every registered voter their ballot. Either way, vote early or on time, by mail or in person, however you do it, do it.

    If you refuse to vote for any reason, I firmly disagree with your decision, but at least send in a blank ballot.

    Unfortunately, voting doesn't pop up in front of your face all by itself and give you some options to click on, and even if it did many people would dismiss it as an invasion of their privacy and an unreasonable demand on their time, and then spend an hour raging about it on social media.
