I know "there's no political solution" is popular in some parts around here, but people wouldn't be doing desperate things with the vote if it didn't matter at all. Vote.org says it's mission is to get people from generally low-turnout groups to vote. I don't know if they had the alt-right in mind when they wrote this, but I think many people here qualify, considering all the discouragement people get for voting and political participation in these parts sometimes. And if you are younger or less wealthy, you probably are part of a measured to be part of a lower turnout demographic.

I don't want to tell anyone what to think, I'm just one random person. But since you've probably heard from a bunch of people telling you not to vote already: please vote. Your vote counts. You count. This is important. And the site tries to make it easy. And if you can do it without detracting from other activities that are more important right now, please help your family and friends and frens all vote too. There are a lot of people who don't want you to, which might mean that it's that much more important that you do.
