man im so disillusioned with the current political climate i completely forgot there was an election coming up. Oof! Yeah I'm thinking it'll be a big blue wave judging off the poll numbers, not much of a mystery how everything will settle out. IDK I just really don't care. It won't make any difference whether congress becomes blue, red, or purple. Whatever the ultrapowerful want, that's what we'll get.

I still encourage you to do what you can. Don't worry about it, but see if there's anything little you can do. If you think you have someone you could vote for, do so. If you feel like you can have a political discussion in good faith with someone, it might be worthwhile to do so - you could both end up learning something too, even if you're unable to convince the other party to change their mind. All the little things, even they might add up in the end, and you'll probably learn more about yourself along the way. And there could be situations where your vote does make a difference - not necessarily alone, but there's probably still some opportunities. Or maybe you won't achieve much, but if it's not much effort and you don't make decisions you end up regretting, it's probably still worth it.
