    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.

    I'm interested in what the "uncommitted" movement will switch to after the last primaries. If we are going to "protest vote" for any reason, it should be coordinated. Or I'll write in my cat.

      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.
