Vote.
This debate is not exclusive to the election run, it’s just that you ignore it until the finish line then berate people for “talking about it only at the end”
Absolute bullshit. The people who are actually boots on ground doing the work are not the people making the claims. They know the hard work that is necessary and they know the benefit of voting even if the impact is incremental. The whole objection is that the people who talk about protest voting are the ones who only drop into the game at the finish line.
