My Policy on Politics

This site is about technology, creation, and problem-solving. But since politics often comes up, I want to be transparent about where I stand: I don’t vote. This isn’t apathy. It’s a deliberate choice.

Why I Refuse the Game

Modern American politics doesn’t work like a system of collective problem-solving—it works like a machine designed to manufacture division and loyalty. We’re told there are “two sides,” yet both ultimately protect the same structure.

I’m not willing to feed that machine. Voting doesn’t challenge it—it legitimizes it. It takes individual agency and funnels it into a spectacle built to radicalize, divide, and pacify.

On Injustice

I’m not indifferent to injustice or the real travesties happening in the world. But more often than not, those travesties are the direct product of the same political machine people insist I must participate in. Supporting that system in the name of fighting injustice feels like treating an infection by feeding the disease.

Refusing to vote does not mean I’m “okay with it.” It means I see that real solutions won’t come from choosing which faction of the same machine gets to steer.

Common Pushbacks

“What if the other side wins? Isn’t it your fault?”

A broken system breaking further is not the fault of those who refuse to reinforce it. Responsibility lies with the system itself.

“So you’re fine with how things are?”

Not at all. Refusing to vote is not apathy—it’s clarity. It’s recognizing that change must come from outside the ballot box.

My Focus

Instead of giving energy to party politics, I invest in building tools, sharing knowledge, and creating communities that value transparency and respect. I believe technology, when approached responsibly, offers more direct ways to shape the future than casting a vote in a broken system.

Bottom Line

I don’t vote because I refuse to confuse participation with agency. My energy belongs to creation, not spectacle. That’s where I believe real progress happens.
