    I’ve been punching one in for them the last few times I was able. I don’t even believe in voting, at least on a national level. It’s easy to do where I live, so I do it for down ballot stuff.

    Same here, Howie Hawkins and Jill Stien were my picks in my last two elections I think. It sucks knowing that pretty much every leftist thinker ever has some form of “Real talk, voting is kinda wack bro”. However still i wish there were meaningful alternatives to “Our party will make your life worse and we are Red” and “Our party will make your life worse and we are Blue”.

      I guess I mostly do it as a gesture of good faith. I wish we lived in a world where democracy was possible, and everyone was on the level. That being said, I will not vote for anyone who has a position I can’t support. I just won’t check a box in that category.

      I’m so glad it only takes me like five minutes to go vote. I can’t imagine the kind of person that would go stand in line all day just to punch Genocide Joe in, like they singlehandedly saved democracy.
