I've been seeing a lot of anti-voting sentiment going around. Can't believe I have to say this, but you need to vote. Not only is there more to the election than just the president. (State policy, Senate, house), but not voting is not an act of protest. C'mon guys

Always vote, whenever you have the option.

General election, primary, whatever.

You should always make your voice heard. There's also more important elections going on that are more directly impactful to you (i.e. local elections).

This! I'm voting in 5 different elections this year!

We had a special election to fill a vacated mayoral seat (only 10% of registered voters showed up) and then the recent primary. In May, we have a local election for city council and school board seats and also a separate run-off primary election. And then of course the general election in November.
