...I’m getting close to giving up on a pointless exercise...

I've been ranting against stolen elections long before DJT had his election stolen. I still vote anyways. Why? Because I can say to myself that while it may have been a futile gesture, I can at least claim I tried to do the the right thing.

I’m of the same position. I’ll take the hour out of my day to go vote (even when I figure the Dems are gonna cheat their way to their preferred outcome), because:

1.) I don’t want to listen to people giving me grief for not voting, and that I can tell them with confidence that I did ‘not’ vote for the socialist tyranny we are enduring

2.) there’s a chance the particular election you’re voting in is still NOT rigged. Since Trump did win the 2024 election, the cheat machine must not have been at such a level that they were able to pull it off a 2nd time. But going into election night 2024, I was fully expecting that they WERE going to cheat Trump out of the presidency again.

Participation implies legitimacy.
