i think it’s misguided because voting can have an impact; but doesn’t since that’s the extent of civic engagement for an overwhelming majority of americans which leads to manipulate-able voters who have to use their emotions to decide on things that they know nothing about.

It makes perfect sense coming from you.

If voting wasn’t important than republicans wouldn’t make it so hard to do.

I would say to that person that voting could matter if we passed state level electoral reform. Give them something real and tangible to pursue instead of wasting time and thought on a topic that has no solution.

Pretty obviously false, and I’d genuinely question the social and intellectual capabilities of anybody who truly believes this - originally sarcastic - phrase.
