Meanwhile, your path to victory is...what? Not voting? Ranting on a forum literally tens of people visit?

I've never considered me voting for the winner to mean that I "won" anything. My record isn't super:

2004 - Kerry
2008 - Obama
2012 - Obama
2016 - Clinton

I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but voting in the Presidential election is kind of useless in terms of "achieving" things. For one thing, I'm in a die-hard blue state in which Biden beat our sitting Senior Senator.

But the big portion is the mid-terms. Who you send to the Senate and the House matters more, because it signals to the parties what the mood in the country is, and 2018 was won by the DSA crowd.

My vote for Biden in November isn't as important as my vote for Markey in September.
