When will be your "this is the last fucking time I'm voting for the 'lesser of two evils', then I don't care after that, let this country burn to the ground"? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I'm going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I'm done. It's just pointless. Let's hear it.

You guys were voting based on "lesser of two evils" and not based on who you actually like?

I've always just voted for the guy I like best. I never felt that voting tactically was truthful.

If everyone was like me we'd have a nicer political climate, I think.

I'll keep doing that so you can feel free to join me in doing that until we reach the critical mass point.

That'd require there to have ever been a candidate I like. There hasn't been, at least on the federal level

You can always skip offices that don't have a good candidate.

Spoiled votes are tracked as a separate statistic!

Continued complacency by people bitching about candidates not being good enough is how we're on the knifes edge of destroying our democracy here in the states.

I don't like the people I vote for, but I sure as fuck would rather live in our current neolib hellscape than the psuedotheocratic bullshit the loudest voices in the GOP so clearly want. Sitting on your ass enables exactly that

Put up a non-genocidal climate expert who's actually willing to disenfranchise Big Oil, then we can talk; til then, die nameless :)
