It’s just a slippery slope. When you do vote you feel invested, you feel you should be more involved, “my politician” pill your friends and family, get all worked up over shit with internet strangers
Meanwhile it’s a borderline conspiracy by the powers that be + money in politics to keep the status quo and fuck us just a little harder than before
You’re not wrong tho 🤝
That’s a solid point I hadn’t thought about.
I was thinking about it purely from a decision theory point of view, where if you opt out from making a choice, than others will make it for you, so you’re taking away some of your power.

So easy to get sucked into the outrage cycle 😔
Ugh for real - I used to spend too much time on Reddit and I eventually noticed how my emotions / thinking around politics was being influenced.
It’s one of the reasons I’m loving nostr so far - feels like it’s mostly real people on here and less hidden agendas
I feel more powerful voting with my feet and my dollars than at the ballot
It probably is more powerful, agree with you 100%
Just curious what do you mean about voting with your feet?
