Whether he votes or not for president has no bearing on the national electorate. The presidential tally was completed within 30mn of california polls closing. The loudest "don't vote" muhfukkas on both sides of the aisle live in NY, Cali, MD, DC, TX, or FL - all safe spaces when it comes to presidential and senatorial battles. Meanwhile they're influencing voters in battleground states who have no margin for error.
It says mountains about his indifference toward local issues and his lack of knowledge about government. You have to vote for school board, comptroller, county executive, judges, DAs, AG, LT. Gov, etc.
Are there not black people running for these positions that need your vote?
You're against police violence but you don't know who your DA or AG is, don't know who your judges are, and don't know who negotiates terms with the police union? Not only did you not vote for someone you thought could bring about change, you wanted change and didn't even build support for a local campaign?
Not voting is the easiest, laziest, just finished freshman year poli sci, bullshyt ever.
