It's like you didn't read my post at all, maybe you accidentally replied to the wrong post.
I didn't tell anyone to vote Kamala or DNC, I said a write-in vote is a protest vote. For the love of God you can write in "anti-genocide" or "I stand with Palestine" as your vote, that is a protest.
Keeping this short because I hope you actually read this.
If you're going to protest, cast a blank vote, if you abstain you're just going to end up mixed with the "too lazy to vote" crowd.
Also, having maned voting booths in my own country a couple of times (I expect it's not all that different in the US) writting stuff in the your ballot paper will just make a vote invalid and nobody will record or even care about you wrote there - maybe 2 or 3 people will see your words there while counting votes, but that's it.
In the US they're aggrigated so, if someone really cared, they could see how many people wrote in. It won't be counted until the votes that actually matter in the election are done being counted though, but it can be used to give insight to political strategists.

It's not exclusive to the US but it's mostly a US practice.
You're supposed to agree with me when I say my stupid shit! It's literally the only correct way to think!
My giant brain still somehow can't comprehend someone reading what I have to say and dismissing it..!
It's about a coherent trail of ideas. If I'm talking about write-in's, and you act like I'm telling you to vote for Kamala, when she's on the ticket and there would be no sense in writing Kamala in when she's already on the ticket, the conversation is not following a rational line of discussion.
