Isn't there an option for "write-in candidates" in the US? How does it work? Could everyone vote for somebody else to clearly say they wanted to choose, but didn't like the choices being offered?

Nah, votes themselves don't get someone elected president. The electoral college does. There are some states that set up laws so their electoral college votes have to match the will of the state's popular vote, but I doubt that includes write ins.

IIRC the penalty for breaking those laws is a fine. Vv democracy

We write in "Genocide Joe" and piss off everyone all at once.

For the rest of my life I get to troll the libs by telling them that I voted for Genocide Joe while also not voting for Biden. It's a fool proof plan.
