Well the lgbt push and the racial obsession are just two reasons I couldn’t vote for the left. Along with abortion and other stuff. At most I just wouldn’t vote nationally.

For anyone considering not voting, I'd recommend spoiling your ballot, because that is a much clearer message than "not voting". Imagine a situation where it was Trump 35% Kamala 35% and 30% spoiled ballots vs. 30% not voting.

They won't care. Shit like that already happened in some local election in Germany. The AFD candidate was banned from participating and as a consequence only some 30% or so actually turned up. The system didn't give a shit. The 'winning' party celebrated itself anyway.

It was Kierkegaard, I think, who said that impatience is humanity's worst flaws.

Even openly dictatorial states care about voter turnout. They'll pretend not to care, but it undermines their legitimacy all the same. The system's endurance depends on the willingness of the population to obey its edicts voluntarily. It cannot imprison or kill them all. That is why Iranian women were able to effectively abolish headscarf laws by disobeying the law en masse.

I'm not proposing a panacea. We're in a hole. I'm proposing that we do the best we can. We can do no more, but we should do no less.

I’m not the smartest guy out there. What is spoiling ballots?

You're probably unfamiliar with it because you guys don't do it as much as people here do (though it's still a marginal phenomenon).

If you fill in multiple candidates, that part gets counted as an 'invalid vote'. That's what people do here when they are unhappy with choices but don't want to make it appear that they are indifferent.

I've also heard of people declining their ballot.

As in, registering at the polls, then immediately handing the incomplete ballot back to the poll worker with some sort of verbal acknowledgement that you are declining the ballot.

They wouldn’t give a fuck. “Public sentiment” doesn’t exist as a concept. If there were two votes for red jew and one vote for blue jew and eighty million votes for [incomplete ballot], red jew would win.

They wouldn't burn so much of their time and energy on propaganda if consent of the governed didn't matter. It doesn't matter if that consent is given willingly, is coerced out of us by force, or we're tricked into giving it, but what does matter is if the institutions controlling us aren't respected. That leads to the sort of collapses we saw in Eastern Europe at the end of the Cold War.

Unless they're ready to ditch the drained husk of this nation and move on to the next scam, they absolutely need most people to either fear the power of ZOG or believe that gay judeo-democracy is good.

They publicly admitted to stealing the 2020 election and no one did anything. “Consent” is irrelevant. We have been chemically castrated.

It'd strip the system of its legitimacy far more than not voting.

Wow, legitimacy. They definitely care about what a piece of paper says.

I'm not the smartest guy either but that's over 100%

Well, it's not supposed to be cumulative, but a situation in which 30% of unhappy people spoil their ballots rather than not voting. Not 30% spoiling and 30% not voting, and 35% for each candidate.

That said, 130% votes would be the least absurd thing in our current situation.

Cast your ballot, don't stay home. It denies the use of your ballot for fraud. Don't vote for anyone on the actual ballot, though, write in names instead. A nation wide write in campaign sends a message, too.
