i vote in my local shit every time. i live in a little state nobody cares to visit in a small city. i generally focus on preventing monsters from getting on the school board/city council/judge bench and sometimes, when the monster is disgusting enough, help block them from the governor's office. i vote for 3rd party weirdos and commies for president, because i'm usually already there voting to allow kids to keep reading books or whatever other wack shit is trying to sneak through on the ballot that time. something is up with the GOP, because while they totally seem to have this place on lockdown (and the dems disorganized)... the republicans keep somehow overplaying their hand and bricking it for exec offices. one time we had a guy sneak onto the Lib ticket who was like off the rails "Abolish the CIA!" wild. libs were so mad that he won their primary, i loved voting for that guy (he lost in a landslide lol).

i live in a honky part of town so my lines are short and ever since covid, they let us do early voting and all that shit, so it takes no time. i have never had a line during my near decade of living here, and the polling place is like a 6 minute walk from my house that i have to go by to get anywhere.

i don't wear my sticker or allow signs in my yard or anything. that stuff can eat me and i'm not trying to flag myself to whatever heavily armed Q-brain received his Gladio Activation Code today. but for the amount of effort i have to put in to do it, i can't justify not doing it. all i can think is, "if voting was complete bullshit, they wouldn't work so hard to stop black people from doing it."
