      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 imagine 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 electoral college? Maybe you should say something more thoughtful.

        You are right of course - your system is so fucked up that it’s not even worth trying, just give up already and hand the keys to Pootin. /s!

          Not my system but what are people supposed to do then?

          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”.
