[+] sunzu@kbin.run -22 points 2 years ago (4 children) Y'all know there is a third choice? protest vote. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] ThinkBeforeYouPost@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago Uhh, Trump was the protest vote for a lot of people, unfortunately (Defifuckinlutely not me). Also, soooo few people vote, particularly in non-presedential year elections. I always strategically vote for the best candidate, and live in a state which allows me to do so without impacting chances of the (more) fascist candidate winning the general election. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 3 points 2 years ago Might as well just shit in your own hat for all the good that will do anyone. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Also known as voting for the spoiler.
