Yeah, I’ve voted every general election and primary since I was allowed. There’s more that needs to be done: education, convincing friends and neighbors, protest, and yes revolution, I’ve done most of those too.

But voting is the bare minimum duty of citizens in a democracy. I’ve spent hours in line to vote, it’s nothing compared to my mom who was a regular poll worker. I actually find in person voting nice, but living in the PNW where it’s mail first I do think every state should adopt a process of sending every registered voter their ballot. Either way, vote early or on time, by mail or in person, however you do it, do it.

If you refuse to vote for any reason, I firmly disagree with your decision, but at least send in a blank ballot.
