2020 was... truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn't get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I'm going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I'm done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I'm gonna do my best to fight that.

What will my approach be to next year's election?

Going to ignore it because it's all bullshit.

Free your mind. The real world is beautiful out here.

Prepare as many molotovs as possible and vote for Biden. My heart wants everyone to write Bernie in but that ship sailed. Instead, I will vote for the person thats not a faux mob boss and prepare for my country to turn into an autocracy because the faux mob boss is somehow pulling a shit ton of votes.

Edit: way too many comments here saying it doesn't matter and they aren't gonna vote. Just hand the direction of your life over to someone else then lmao

You know they sell drones that have a latch to drop things now?

I like my rising from oppression to be organic.
