Except the US is a representative democracy so you vote for quarterbacks, not plays. Armchair quarterbacks are just regular citizens with delusions of grandeur.
You can call your quarterback and tell them what plays you think they should make. But babbling to strangers about what the quarterback should do is just that.
"It's not important what you think, but if you don't decide biden is better we'll all lose"
Maybe things would be better if only the reasonable adults voted? Maybe only white land owners, even, because clearly all these delusional normies are gonna ruin our election.
Democracy means (i guess in theory, though i think it's at least the ideal) everyone's opinion matters the same amount. You're right though, we're not voting for individual policies (that'd be a lot better here), so instead your candidate needs delusional citizens like myself to think well enough about him to pick him, or anyone at all
Yeah I don't know who told you your political opinion matters to anyone but eventually adults tend to recognize that's not how life works.
You can pull one of two levers- that's the only time what you think actually matters.
