Your digital toys speak and you believe.

As do yours, dipshit. I'm sorry that you saw a bunch of depressing news and it turned you into a nihilistic edgelord, but you need to stop trying to drag other people down with you by trying to convince us that since we can't conclusively 100% definitively prove that voting makes a difference, we shouldn't bother getting off our couches on election day.

There is zero proof of the existence of God, yet people still pray. Even if they aren't sure they really believe, hey, they might as well. There is a mountain of evidence that voting works and it costs $0 to do it.

$15/hr minimum wage. People living in a studio apartment can now ring up people's hamburgers without choosing between food and rent as a direct result of a ballot measure in several states across America. But who's counting?
