Maybe “nothing” doesn’t mean what you think it means.

If I vote Democrat in a clear-cut red state, my vote changes nothing. Same as if I vote third party. Same as if I don’t vote at all. So … I’m doing nothing no matter what. Is that your standard?

Did I say I want to change the system? … Oh, yeah, I didn’t. That’s awkward, isn’t it. Please be careful when going into attack mode.

Also, voting third party is clearly doing something. Staying home is doing something. Trying to help people on the Internet understand various political stances is doing something.

There are a million approaches to politics. Why are you so convinced that yours is the one correct option?

Wait a second. You could have been blaming the Republican voters, because they actually voted for the guy. You could have been blaming the Democrats for not fielding better candidates. Instead you’re blaming that small minority of people who thinks that both parties suck and neither of them is going to fix the major problems facing the United States. And all the while, Democrat candidates know exactly how to get more progressive votes: push progressive policies.
