My exerience is different. I live in a state where democrat party politicians eliminated the religious exemption for vaccines. Previous to 2019, a parent in New York state could simply sign a form that said vaccination was against their religious principles. Their child would be allowed to attend school without any vaccines. Most American states have this rule, in some its called a philosophical or religious exemption. The states run by democrats, California, New York, e Connecticut, Maine have eliminated this "loophole" in the past 5 years. Now parents who dont want their child to have 70 vaccines by the age of 18 must homeschool.
This is ONE example, there are others, of how politics effects people's lives. Another example is that some states have considered outlawing homeschooling! It hasn't passed but it could. So I DO believe that voting is important. Its a very imperfect system, but we can try to hold politicians accountable. I am involved in lobbying in a small way, my heros are people like Amy Miller of Tennessee and many others who do the hard, wearying work of lobbying in state capitols.
I do NOT believe that it makes NO difference who gets elected whether as president or in congress or in state legislatures. Biden mandated covid vaccines for millions of people. Trump and his party did not do that and said they were against it. Here's another example: Alabama (republican run) outlawed gender surgery on minors. The Biden administration is suing the state to overturn that law.
No one has to vote. But please be respectful of the people who work so hard to protect children and adults from unwanted vaccines and other bad things! It does matter who has power!
