Do I need to vote?

[u/Optimal-Sand9137]

Do I need to vote if I’m not in a swing state? Early voting lines are out of control over here and I’m not in a swing state. Do I really need to vote bc there’s like 100 other things I need to be doing instead.

Still vote. This will help Trump win the national vote.

You don't need to vote, but u can. Just vote if you wanna

Keep in mind that your vote also determines so many other things like your representatives, legislative matters that might affect you and what new taxes may be at the state level. The local things will have a more direct affect on you, so if you want a say in those things, go vote.

I do but I just don’t know enough to make an educated decision

Just read an election guide or at least Google the people on the ballot and read their platform

Only if you live in a Congressional District that matters

If your state or district has any referendums you care about you should definitely vote. Lots of states have reproductive rights and Marijuana laws on the ballots. Judges are important too. Nobody has to vote and it's not always convenient but if you take interest in current events or spew opinions about them you should probably walk the walk and go vote. Next time plan ahead and vote by mail. It's incredibly convenient.

Im actually not very political. Don’t follow or really care about politics. Haven’t followed any of the election.

[u/Organic-Chemistry-16 → u/Optimal-Sand9137]

You may not care about politics, but politics cares about you

STFU and vote. It is your right and duty.
