    I’m not sure what you’re alluding to. One party probably won’t win every election until the end of days, nor should it. However, votes are one way that we have a voice in government, and your government represents you less when your voice isn’t heard.

        democracy is just going to end sooner or later anyway

        This is speculative, and a bad reason to not vote on purpose. The US has a flawed democracy, and it can get better. Voting won’t “fix” our government alone, but not voting is a guaranteed way to let others choose and vote for you.

            I have to vote Biden or American democracy will end

            I made a graphic that describes what others have probably recommended:

            If you vote for a candidate that you know will lose, then it practically makes the same impact as not voting at all.

                You should probably get some outside opinions that aren’t on Lemmy. Lemmy seems to have a very specific crowd that tends to be an echo chamber for certain beliefs and opinions. There are better things to do with your vote than not vote at all.

                Edit: The fact that this was down-voted is proof of Lemmy’s echo chamber tendencies, ha.
