    Yeah. It was a different time. I think I traded votes with someone in a red state, so that I voted for Gore where it mattered and he got to vote for Nader to build up the total for Nader which was important to me.

    It was a more innocent time TBH

      I suppose, although watching the Lemmy youth piss away their votes makes me think we were just stupid and high. Of course we didn’t think the SCOTUS would stop democracy back then, or that everyone would let them.

        I don’t think this country has the structural elements in its society to maintain democracy, honestly.

        It is sad. I don’t know what to do.
