Okay. Then thank you to your grandparents who sat idly by while Poland was invaded?
We don’t control much here. We get presented shitty options, the electoral college makes a lot of our votes not matter, and a lot of people are just trying to live.

Why do you make it sound like showing up for half a day and casting a vote is some ultimate sacrifice. That is the minimum duty of a citizen.

You ignore the electoral college (i.e. an entire state swinging for one candidate), you also ignore voter suppression tactics. In some parts of the US it is seriously difficult for certain groups, especially the poor, to exercise this right. Merely transportation issues alone can be super prohibitive. They explicitly close polling stations in certain areas and fucn with transportation services for this. They push back against early and mail in voting. Peoplebhave to work during that day. They have kids and lives.
This is well known in America. Get off your smug high horse.
