    I stayed home because neither candidate represented the interests of the working class.

      Just checking back in to see how you’re feeling about the speed-run of America into an authoritarian fascist theocracy.

      Yeah but that just means you can be safely ignored.

      The Democrats don’t bother to win voters that don’t show up. 40% didn’t vote. They aren’t going to read your lack of vote as “I ain’t voting because I hate y’all”. ALL statistics are based around voters. Who showed up are more likely to show up again.

      I’m not saying you should’ve voted Kamala because she was the lesser of two evils, far from it. I’m just saying that if you want the message to be received, you need to be petty. Use the write in space and write “fuck you Kamala” If you lack a write in space, just don’t fill out the presidency. It’s recorded.

      If they receive 6% less voters, it’s ignored. You can only estimate that. if 6% of ballots just… ignored the presidency. That’s an eye popping statistic.

          I mean… yes? But also if you had showed up and flipped the finger, then all the ground you stand on would be rock solid. “You ignored me and this vote I am slipping into the ballot box could’ve been yours, but nope, now it goes to Micky mouse. Too bad, so sad.”

          You are now automatically grouped with cheeto finger guys sitting in their underwear playing league to reach iron 2 because they just don’t care. What data can I wave to say you aren’t in that category?

          Literally all of our bureaucracy is built on data. You’ve provided no proof that you are disenfranchised. A protest vote of none takes less time than a protest, and leaves more data.

            Not really. You’re just in the camp of “get out and vote no matter what.”

      Yeah, that’s totally going to turn out to be just great for you and everyone you know.

      One of the two options could be petitioned and protested against to effect change. The other tear-gassed peaceful protesters (and clergy) in front of a church that he’d never set foot in, for a photo op where he held the bible backwards and upside down.

      Good fucking luck, because you’re going to need it.

        If you’re really upset, direct that ire to the people who keep nominating candidates that don’t represent the interests of the working class.
