I agree many wouldn't bother, but I still believe it should be every citizen's duty to vote. It's literally the bare minimum political involvement people can have.
I believe using your veto powers in the UN to block attempts to stop a literal genocide that's happening right now because of one of your allies is pretty disgraceful if you ask me.
Political change comes from the people. Civil rights didn't come from voting, nor did worker's rights. If voting changes nothing, then it is useless to vote, simple as that. Organizing and forcing the changes people want is how you get what you want when your leaders don't listen.
And here I was thinking the uncommited movement meant something might be done. If you are still calling for Biden, then why even bother voting uncommitted? Why pretend to dissent if you'll fall in line when it matters?
Just an anecdote, but on the ffxiv subreddit and discords I lurk around there have been a LOT of xbox players going through the free trial for the first time. Considering you can play a lot for free and the series S being somewhat cheap, I can see this being a fair boon to the game.
It's the usual foreign fearmongering. It's never phrased this way if the subject is a western company (even though we know they cooperate with the US government).
