In 2020, one state (Georgia) can make or break an election, but in 1963, and 1865, one nutjob with a gun can change the coarse of history all on his own…
In the 2060s, I sure hope we have better measures in place…
How many places does it not matter what you vote whether it be “rural red” or hardcore “big city blue”? Answer -a lot. Better answer -any is to fucking many.
Far less than hundreds of thousands of towns and municipalities where local elections have pitiful turn outs most of the time and things are regularly decided by just a handful of votes of difference. 5 people could mean the difference between a far right fascist city council or school board and something sensible.
Even in my fairly decently sized city, our school board was just 300 votes away from going full tilt book banning and transphobic.
Just vote. It’s one day a YEAR, stop worrying about how many people are on your side and just do it. If nothing changes, then nothing changes but at least there exists the possibility of good change
They do of course. If you’re in battle ground states they matter a TON, and they matter for everyone in local elections.

In 2060 I hope the climate has finally won. Lol jkjk
That’s a lot of “ifs” and “ands”.
We gotta talk about what “a lot” means.
