Explain to me why you disagree.
I live in Massachusetts in a district that has had a Democrat Rep since the 1930s.

My political opinions are being voiced by my representative. I live in an area where the majority share my political ideologies so I don't need to vote.
Oh look it's another non-American who doesn't understand how American politics work. Can you please join the line with Lok and the other political trolls, thanks.

Why not vote for them if you share their views? Your logic makes no sense. Does that mean that you wouldn't vote against the other side if they were in power?

They will never be in power.

I'm like a third done with my ballot, so I'll vote.

crazy things are happening, and will always happen, so i won't pretend I'm God and know results without voting.

My state was pretty red, but then turned blue. It still feels pretty red with the southern border racism but it's progressing.

It's amazing how well voter suppression works in this country. It is exactly what corrupt politicians rely upon.

I definitely have to now. Apparently Zeldin has a chance at winning New York governor.

I don't love Hochul either but I have to vote for her.

They will unless there's a radical shift in the socio-economic and cultural norms of his home district. Because that's how voting patterns work.

Which I assume he'd generally know more about than you since he actually lives there.

No matter how much people like to tell schoolchildren that "every vote matters", it's never really been true. There are tons of votes that are functionally useless in the US as a whole, and likely always will be unless the system as a whole undergoes a massive overhaul (which it almost certainly won't in any of our lifetimes).

Depends on which problem you're referring to.

At the moment, you are very much part of an entirely different problem.

If votes don't matter, how do we have upsets and land slides and not predict things perfectly.
Would you bet your life that you know it'll stay blue?
every vote does matter. It's the people passing out the Kool aid convincing you otherwise, or else voting would not matter at all.

There's been a pretty radical shift in the country's politics at the federal level, particularly around the Supreme Court's shenanigans. His home district may not have changed radically, but the current political state of the country may be enough to motivate many of his neighbours who would previously have stayed home because they didn't feel they had a chance at upsetting the status quo to get out and do what they can to change it. Pair that with those who would vote for the status quo staying home because they think it's safe, and you've got a recipe for some surprising upsets.

Is it likely? Not necessarily. There are some districts that are indeed so deeply entrenched in political tradition that upsets are all but impossible. But in many districts it's a whole lot more possible than some might like to think, and given that this is a very high-stakes midterm, taking an hour to try to make sure it doesn't happen isn't the worst idea.

I'm still guessing TC's Canadian.

Canada's elections function pretty similarly (voting for regional representatives who make up the overall provincial/federal governments, with the number of seats won by each party determining who wins the leadership role). There are some differences, but not any that would be relevant to the point you're trying to make.

Because swing states exist, and saying Massachusetts is anywhere close to, say, Ohio is laughable.

Would you bet your life that you know it'll stay blue?

A state where the majority of the Christian population is registered Democrat let alone the agnostics/athiests? Hell yes.

every vote does matter. It's the people passing out the Kool aid convincing you otherwise, or else voting would not matter at all.

I still vote, but I am under no assumption that what I vote matters beyond making a statement about what I believe in. I respect that a lot more than people who say I should only vote for one of the two major parties and in the same breath say that I should go out and vote. With mixed messages like that, I understand why people would rather not vote.

Mine doesn't matter since nothing will change and the propositions are worthless.
