Vote but write in your own candidate or third party.
Only way I have justified participating in "elections" my entire life.
To be fair I did not vote from clinton 2 to obama 1 at all.
People getting excited over their vote not counting
Like it is something new.

U.S. officials say the still-unexplained assaults are steadily expanding and sapping morale at the CIA and State Department.
The CIA evacuated an intelligence officer serving in Serbia in recent weeks who suffered serious injuries consistent with the neurological attacks known as Havana Syndrome, according to current and former U.S. officials.
The incident in the Balkans, which hasn’t been previously reported, is the latest in what the officials describe as a steady expansion of attacks on American spies and diplomats posted overseas by unknown assailants using what government officials and scientists suspect is some sort of directed-energy source.
“In the past 60 to 90 days, there have been a number of other reported cases” on U.S. soil and globally, said Dr. James Giordano, a Georgetown University professor of neurology who is advising the U.S. government on the issue. “They are seen as valid reports with verified health indicators.”

Question: If you have money in savings when the collapse happens, what happens to your savings? Pouf? or will the insurance that covers the investment firms pay up?
.... The damage was more severe because not only had individual investors put their money into stocks, so did businesses. Consumers who thought their money was safe in banks lost out when banks that had invested the money didn’t have enough reserves to repay it.....

"Please, don't surrender your vote by proxy to thieves."
We are already doing that. Whether you cast a ballot or not doesn't matter when the win is fixed.
"Keep going to vote so we can keep the moral high ground"
How does knowingly voting in rigged elections give us the moral high ground? If anything, it makes us look weak and idiotic. Going through the motions of an action that you already know is futile. But you'll keep doing it anyway because you tell yourself there's no other alternative. Yes there is. Quit complying to a rigged game.
"It makes it easier to steal when virtually no one goes to vote."
The percentage of Americans who actually vote is already pretty low. So that doesn't even matter.
I don't understand people who insist on playing a game that's set up against you. It really baffles my mind.
You are America. Unconstrained by habit and convention. Unencumbered by what is, ready to seize what ought to be. For everywhere in this country, there are first steps to be taken, there is new ground to cover, there are more bridges to be crossed. America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ That word is owned by no one. It belongs to everyone. Oh, what a glorious task we are given to continually try to improve this great nation of ours.
PRESIDENT OBAMA, 2015
