Comment on How do Americans win their country back?

If you had 100% turnout the popular vote would be very different.

Yeah, I didn’t even bother. My area is such a strong republican district that my vote is functionally irrelevant. Hell, they didn’t even bother with democrat candidates on a local level.

If that were me I would run as an independent, people love that on a local level. “I’m putting town/county first!” And say I’m going to fix the roads people LOVE talking about how bad the roads are when it comes to local politics.
