Neither can I affect the outcome really, I don't live in a battleground state, SC is going to go for Trump no matter what I do (538 gives Biden a 12% chance in SC). I guess I've internalized the idea that I have a civic duty to vote.
Probably not the only thing you have a civic duty to do, and what of your civic duty when that vote is turned to theater? Do you have civic duties at all, at that point?
Can someone really drag you over the moral coals for failing to pretend as though the world were not as it is?
The other options that have crossed my mind regarding civic duties not encompassed by the usual voting, protesting, and contacting my representatives are not fit for internet discussion and fall in the 'desperate times' category.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
