Vote anyway. if you seriously don't like either candidate, write in your preferred candidate.
yes it's rigged, yes it's fake and gay, but it is also free and enables the narrow possibility that we can in fact get out of this peacefully. it also only takes an hour of your time.
if you don't vote, nothing you say here holds water.
There are exactly two choices this year. You're either choosing manifest destiny in the stars and robot butlers or you're choosing black-worshipping race communists and the end of Western civilization as a concept. Anything that isn't a vote for Donald J. Trump is choosing the second option and it doesn't matter what kind of 100 IQ genius way you try to justify it to yourself.
J6ers vs platinum plan. Trump worships blacks too. Whites are so demoralized they root for blacks to take over as long as they wear red hats.
If you vote for Trump you are choosing war with Iran, Replacement Immigration but from India instead of Guatemala, Operation Warp Speed, Trump Bux, amnesty, gun control, and unlimited money for Ukraine.
Anyways, he's already gotten two votes from me. I never vote for the same candidate a third time.
Go fuck yourself.
Same. I voted for him before. He didn't represent me
I would seriously consider writing myself in.
do it
It's rigged, but not rigged, go vote REEEEEE "
in all likelihood it's rigged. there's a sliver of a chance that it's not rigged, and that chanc is worth holding on to when it's free and costs you nothing.
even if it is rigged, the only way the general populace will understand that is if the steal is so blatant that it can't be ignored. more blatant than 2020. for that to happen, people need to vote and that includes you.
It's always rigged, the issue is by how much. To big to rig is the point.
And if anything, it is currently following the past trajectory of being people screwed with rigged elections in US history (at least for national level offices): You screw them out of the presidency once, you try and force through the things you want but there is too much of the stink of illegitimacy to actually enforce your will across the fruited plains as states start giving the Feds the cold shoulder, and then next time around the guy you screwed comes back and clocks you in the jaw.
Just to go with two prominent examples: John Quincy Adams got a close election and conspired with Henry Clay to take the election even though most of the public will (by plurality of the vote) was with Andrew Jackson. And in what is perhaps one of the few disgraces against the otherwise fantastic Clay name (especially Cassius and Henry), Henry helped to make sure Quincy won in exchange for a cabinet position. But Adams never really got to do a whole lot because he was hamstrung by an enraged Jackson and his supporters, who then won the midterm and then Jackson came in screaming mad and won a landslide in the next election.
And for a more modern example, it is well known that Kennedy stole the 1960 election from Nixon (yet another reason I dont understand the "Kennedy was so anti-establishment, that is why the CIA killed him" types). True, he probably had the popularity he could have won again in 1964, but LBJ did a lot of the same things Kennedy was talking about doing and ruined the image of the Dems on the domestic front come 1968. And the entire time, Nixon had been biding his time, and was able to win in a landslide. Why? Well, the Democrats thought they had the entire culture on lock and planned on running even further to the Left and even openly embracing more socialist policies. Only for the "We thought we had ruined you" Nixon to disabuse them of the idea that Americans are actually on board with such ideas.
So we may well be getting "Little of A, Little of B" in the case of Trump having his second go around.
If there is literally no local or state issue on the ballot to vote about (which there almost never is), then spoil your ballot. If you get a paper ballot, just draw lines across the whole thing or check off every bubble.
Do you, by any chance, regularly purchase lotto tickets?
lotto tickets are more expensive than voting
