Ain't nothing Rhode Islanders like to do more than bitch! :)

I’d imagine that chose not to vote likely aren’t complaining all that often. Additionally, not believing in the candidates doesn’t discredit valid criticisms of elected officials. That’s such a simplified trope that ignores so many possibilities.

Run for office, then! Or, inform the candidate closest to your values as to what they're missing, in your opinion. Or, move.

What is your desired outcome? And how do you intend to achieve it?

Sort these by their ability to achieve your desired outcome.

- Do nothing

- Do nothing and bitch on Reddit

- Vote for a candidate

- Run for office

- Run away, move to another county, state, country where laws give you what you want.
