It’s sweet that you think the average person has an actual effect on the direction our government takes. The only way to get stuff done is mass protest, and we sure as hell aren’t getting people to protest deleting Edge when we have much, much bigger problems here atm.

You image a different election result with more people voting, else why say that. So what happens with more people voting? The lesser evil wins? A 3rd party winning in first past the post voting system with electorial college? Maybe you should say something more thoughtful.

I can talk to people; explain why the current system is bad and suggest more representative voting systems, but I have no idea if that has an outcome better than saying “you should vote, or surrender /s”.
