The last time I voted was in 2020, and I hadn't seen Covid for what it was yet, so I early-voted for Biden and as I drove away from the ballot box I had this overwhelming energetic sense of having been used and taken advantage of.

Now four years later it's obvious the whole thing is a giant energy siphon, (and that RFK was a way to divert the energy of the "health freedom movement" into something useless-when your new campaign manager is "ex"-CIA it's a big red neon sign that says "don't trust me") and I'm never voting again. But also I like to imagine what would happen if a critical mass of people were to not vote. We'd get a lot of scolding and lectures from the talking heads and politicians, but the jig would be up-everyone would know that everyone else knows that the system will never deliver any real change.
