One of the most effective voter suppression methods ever devised is spreading the message that voting doesn’t matter. This message supports the goals of people who want less voting. Do not believe this message. Do not spread it.

Bullcrap. (So-called) “voter apathy” is a perfectly understandable and rational response to the realization that our (allegedly) “democratic” processes isn’t democratic in any way, shape or form - and it is, unfortunately, a necessary realization even if it is true that voting is still better than not voting at all.
It is not the fault of these “apathetic voters” that actual democratic action is de facto criminalized at every turn and demonized by the media - blame the mouthpieces and talking heads that has propagandized these pseudo-democratic spectacles as the only “credible” form of public political participation for decades and even centuries.

I never said you shouldn’t vote. The Rs are worse than the Ds. But voting doesn’t really lead to change for the better. Only the worse.
