 if you cannot trust that both candidates will try to make the country better
 in different ways, but with the same goal, then you do not have a choice when
 voting.

 everyone votes for a better world. every time. that is the promise of voting -
 that you might choose how the world gets better.
 
 when people don't think a better world is possible, they don't vote.

 it's not a contest of "who can spend more"
 
 their voters already believe what they believe. nothing will change their
 mind. so there's little purpose for their money.
 
 our voters need encouragement to come out and vote. The more people that vote,
 the more democrats tend to win. This speaks to a demographic advantage to the
 left, as more people can always be introduced to our ideas.

 Gee I sure wish my country didn't hold the decisionmaking capability from me
 by gatekeeping it behind elections and polling. Sure wish our media wasn't so
 involved in decisionmaking - isn't it something we should talk about amongst
 ourselves? To find out how we feel, and really explore our feelings around a
 topic before expressing ourselves. Ideally more often than twice a year,
 perhaps whenever we want?

 @user-1573 
 
 the easiest analogy would be to say an election is a gun, votes are bullets,
 and the shooters are the candidates
 
 could also say that the shooting event is an election, bullets as a concept is
 democracy while each individual bullet is a vote, and the gun and shooters are
 the ballots and voters
 
 I dunno. I don't especially like thinking about guns and elections in the same
 sentence...

 if you're a fan of both political posts and kookie-dookerie:
Attacking your enemies weaknesses is the route to victory. Safeguarding your own helps ensure the avoidance of defeat. But when your enemy is a culture, who do you target? Their women and children of course.  The GOP attacks abortion rights. They attack trans kids in sports, schools, and bathrooms. And that which you resist is what you'll find, so they find rallying cries of leftists defending the weak. And when you maximize your weaknesses, you leave yourself vulnerable. So how do you protect yourself from all sides when you're only hit where it hurts?  Women, children, the disabled, the mentally ill, the kindhearted loving men, the oppressed minorities and marginalized workers. All people who belong to the left, and all essentially deadweight in a fight. What can they do but serve as a banner that others fight for? A man in a wheelchair cannot shoot a gun, and a woman hooked on drugs should not have children. Yet the left protects them.  Give me your tired, your hungry, your broken and your poor. Liberty, liberty, freedom for all. But freedom is won with a hard hand clenched in a fist, a hand holding the stock of a rifle. Violence solves no problems, but solutions aren't always necessary - sometimes the threat is enough. But who cares for the soul of the murderer? None but the gravediggers, who reap the benefit of his rampage and the crows who listen for gunshots.  ... there's not enough characters remaining for alt. sorry. you can read the rest on my website if you'd like.

 people specifically and any laws they made wouldn't effect people who they
 didn't represent. Sounds like a legislative nightmare doesn't it? And
 repealing laws, they'd only be repealed for their constituents.

 democracy works best with a well-informed populace, and those who are against
 democracy would do anything to make it harder to be "well-informed" -
 including diluting the pool of candidates in order to make it harder to
 research them.
 
 ... Or maybe it was the first time and none of the candidates realized they'd
 be running against so many people? I'm not sure, I'm on the other side of
 forest park and I had at most 5ish options, and no ranked choice voting. : (
 
 I think this might be one of the reasons political parties formed, way back in
 the distant days of yore. Much easier to say "I agree with this group of
 people so I'm voting for who they champion" than "I don't know how to pick
 between 30+ candidates (who I don't know because this is the past and we don't
 have the internet back then ... back now)

 the alternative is lateral thinking. In the given example with leaded
 gasoline, the answer is to limit the usage of all gasoline, not just the
 leaded kind. However that is not in the best interests of anyone, at least
 short term, so it's not likely to happen.
 
 lateral, long-term thinking. Do what you can in the moment to make the world
 better. Pick the best out of all the options presented to you, and if your
 options only treat the symptoms and not the problem, try and identify
 solutions that would treat the problem. Then, pick the better of the two
 options which treat the symptom, and moving forward work toward implementing
 the solution which fixes the problem.
 
 Hence, why we should vote Democrat, but ONLY with the real solution in mind.
 
 what kind of solution would you have? I know mine. I can tell you about it if
 you'd like. The most important thing is that you share and build for that
 future.

 You know how we select from amongst our number electors and representatives
 who vote on our behalf?
 
 Truly an excellent strategy in the era of instant communication, an aft-gone
 luxury that our ancient forebearers surely would have incorporated into their
 nationbuilding design, if they had had it.
 
 I can't help but wonder if it would be a useful strategy to "give" our votes
 to a representative who voted on our behalf. Most people do not care and
 cannot possess the capacity to care about voting, but if they gave their vote
 to someone they trusted who they had a personal connection to beyond party
 loyalty, then perhaps we could mandate voting
 
 I can't help but wonder what that would do to our electoral landscape. If
 voting is mandated, and as easy as pointing at someone and saying "yeah
 whatever she picks", then perhaps the old white grannies with quivering lower
 lips who stare with hatred whenever a black person walks past and chat with
 their gal pals at church wouldn't have as much power over us.
