    Keep your hand in the sand. It’s worked great for you so far!

        Let’s keep voting in the same 2 parties that push terrible candidates. One is a psychopath. The other is senile. Great solution!

          Ah, so the smart play is to not have a say at all by voting for a conspiratorial idiot.

          Truly 4d chess!

            There is no loss if the candidate you vote for does not win. Voting for a candidate you don’t support genuinely means you have no say.

            Also, since you asked I am fully vaccinated.

              If your office is buying lunch and asks you to vote for cheese, pepperoni, or write in something else it’s be ridiculously misguided to write in anchovies as the last person.

              You’re guaranteeing that your choice does not matter.

              Which, I mean, fine with me.

                That’s not how voting in the US works. Look into the electoral college.

                  It’s how first past the post works.

                  This is basic stuff.

                  How many EVs go to the third place in your State?

                    You’re oversimplifying. That is not how voting in the US works.
