Disagree--EVERYONE should vote, as you CAN influence your local elections.

IF things are going to change--it's going to happen locally.

Local influences regional.

Regional influences State.

State influences National.

Then again let's go to basics...

I don't disagree--government has no right to violate you.

But you CAN influence local politics, and if anything is to be accomplished, it HAS to start there...

Ok, but why with vote? Everything else aside you create an unsatisfied (at best) minority. And it's quite possible you'll be part of that group.

Apart from moral point mentioned above I see one issue with it:

In praxis you almost never get candidate who is different enough in a good way. So you always vote lesser evil, which means you vote evil.

More over even if this candidate would be voted in he would necessarily need to do a lot of compromises (because that's the setup of the system).

So at the end you again get practically the same result, maybe with some minor tweaks or different rhetoric.

I personally would consider voting only in situations like that the candidate would be a different enough plus have real chance to change something specific which I would consider as important.

Which never happened 🤷‍♂️ where I live.

I'm not that much into US politics to evaluate if RFK would be that guy, but I doubt it.

Statism is really deep into slaves mind
