If you ever think your vote doesn’t matter, take a look at what happened in MN. 321 votes was the difference between nothing moving forward and a progressive triumph this session.

@georgetakei but an altogether better voting SYSTEM wouldn't have this sort of precarious outcome.

So yeah, vote, encourage voting, but make sure not to forget about all the ways that voters are made to feel powerless ON PURPOSE!

We mustn't shame non voters but find ways to fix why they fail to vote

I am amazed that a country that calls itself a democracy requires people who have the right to vote to register! They should be getting all their voting info in the mail automatically! AND the voting system should be set up so that people who work can vote without having to take time off from work.

And then there's this thing called gerrymandering - which is legal???
