Will there be any point in voting in the midterms, or will Trump and company have the system rigged by then?

You need to get on Ducky's case about this very thing. I tried but failed and then she quite talking to me, but at least she didn't block me... 😁🙄
Where she lives has always been a blue State, so because she's a blue person, she didn't bother voting in the last POTUS Election in `24.
Suddenly, her State went red for the first time in decades and as it turns out, over 50% of the people in her State didn't vote either because they didn't think they needed to.
I would never have known had she not voluntarily raised issue with voting herself, but then told me that she didn't bother voting because she was watching a fukking movie on TV.
l reamed her asssss out but it didn't do any good.

@swirlie I can't talk to her. She's got it in her head that I am the worst human being on the face of this entire planet, because I have on occasion said very toxic things.

I think voting for POTUS should be a mandatory requirement for all Americans to maintain their US citizenship. It's one thing to obtain a US citizenship and then move to the USA... or to even be born there, but it's quite another thing to sit on the sidelines and do nothing to maintain the democratic process by getting politically educated and then going out and VOTING.

@swirlie I 100% agree. Australia did that, and I very much doubt the average Australian is more mature than the average American, and they take it seriously. I think after a couple of elections of joke votes, we could manage that.
