So you didn't read the comments that added context lol. Starting to think this is more of a reading comprehension issue lol.

So Ill give you the outline:

I live in NY.

There would have to be like 5 million democrats voting republican to even create a scenario where my voting 3rd party affected the outcome.

NY goes democratic every election no matter what my vote is for. For that reason the presidential election is the least important election.

The quote you keep taking out of context emphasized the importance of voting for EVERY elected official because even with Roe v Wade over turned nothing has changed where I live for how abortions are handled.

Yes, so let me introduce this concept called "swing states" where it is not like NY. There, votes matter. So them voting does matter and have an impact. Either way, even if you know your state will go one way, the outcome of the election is still very impactful to citizens.

You said the presidential election should be the least concerning election for everyone. That's just wrong. Swing states have power and the president can impact everyone. It is very consequential to multiple people.

If you're upset that NY is always blue blame republicans who are against getting rid of the electoral college and having rank choice voting.

Or you can just keep insulting me because I disagree with you, that's a very Republican move.

But sure, over turning Row v Wade hasn't impacted you directly so it doesn't matter. No one should be concerned about the president because big changes to law haven't impacted you so they shouldn't matter to anyone. Jfc... Some people were impacted you know, you are aware of that right? And that was a direct result of the president that was elected selecting a conservative justice. But hey, it didn't effect you so it shouldn't matter to anyone right?

"Presidential elections in NY are the least concerning elections as they should be for every fuckin American."

You can say I have a comprehension issues all you want, but you seem to think all voters shouldn't care about the presidental election because it won't impact you in NY, big lol.
