Vote for the least worst option. Cry because I live in a red state and it won't make any difference.
I'm not party affiliated, but I will vote for the Democratic Party candidate. It wouldn't make any difference in my state, but I do it anyway. My state doesn't swing, so I will probably send some money to Democratic candidates in closest out-of-state Senate races (I don't waste money on sure winners or losers).
It's a hold-my-nose thing, since I'm really only about 50% in agreement with them. I tend to swing farther left on certain issues and near-libertarian-right on others. My primary concern at this point is averting a slide further into fascism. I've spent quite a bit of time in formerly-fascist countries and it's a messy thing to untangle. The scars last for generations.
Not voting and enjoying a beer
Further develop contingincy plan to GTFO of dodge if the country is insane enough to elect the cheeto man again.
Writing in Xi Jinping (no, not that one, a different one)
Ignore all media, vote for whoever the democratic candidate is.
I realized that all the election media just makes me angry, and I already know who I’m NOT voting for, so there’s really only one choice anyways.
To vote in it.
If Trump gets elected again somehow then... I don't know what we can do to fix the country. I can't put into words my feelings about that situation, but I worry it will cause me to no longer believe our country can be saved.
Not in a state where my vote counts so it doesn't matter much. My political plans are trying to avoid getting thrown in jail per the popular bipartisan SB 686 for being too outspoken about opposing the genocide of Palestinians.
Since the 2010 Citizens United decision when the supreme court legalized bribery, the best I've been able to hope for is a managed and slow as possible decline into a feudal-like state with a heritable and defined noble and peasant class. Hopefully nuclear war will prevent the worst possible consequences of climate change so I can have a little hope while I'm being vaporized.
Being from an "every vote counts" country with compulsory voting, this seems like such an alien response to me.
I think it was Lewis Black who said, "I don't know if you've noticed, but the two party system in this country is a bowl of shit looking at itself in the mirror."
I vote for who earns my vote. I refuse the forced choice of two terrible options.
I've been dreading it since 2020. I might turn my phone off the entire year.
I wish I could let everyone who's going to text me know that I've already made a decision and they don't need to waste their time or mine.
It's gonna be a shit show. Two shit choices again blowing hot air every which way with billion dollar advertising campaigns.
The area I live in is wildly deeply democrat so my vote is irrelevant anyway, so I'm just voting third party. And until then I'm gonna try to avoid the whole mess.
A lot of trolling about voting green party, not voting, not voting Biden. Any of these positions is pro Trump, and that's the simple truth.
So admit that at least, you WANT a dictatorship.
