haha thanks, I appreciate it.

Surely there’s some reward or motivation, whether it’s rational or not. Would you feel any different if you didn’t do it?

Serious question, why? Stress relief of button-pushing? Thinking it might work and that it can’t be slower than doing nothing?

I just don’t feel any urge to push the button.

I don’t have evidence, but I have heard there are also times of day when it’s automated and when it’s manual. So you might need to press it at midnight but not during rush hour. Interesting if true.

Good call, I’ll start looking out for these!

Huh, these are all common sense statements I would have assumed true. Four our of four, good work!

but they never seem to consider that it’s them that keeps electing those people.

How so?

If one doesn’t vote, a slimy politician still get elected.

If one does vote, in most elections one can only choose from a small group of people who probably fail to represent them, and even if there is a reasonable option, they probably won’t win the vote anyway.

The system is rigged, when it comes to voting there usually* isn’t a correct option. Our political voice must exist outside of elections.

(I say usually, because a few elections are better than other, but generally speaking at a federal level, it’s slime no matter how you vote)

A key aspect is that it doesn’t even require confirmation.
