2020 was... truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn't get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I'm going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I'm done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I'm gonna do my best to fight that.

If you avoid everyone who supports Israel in this fight you won't have anyone to vote for.

Yea I'm aware that's why I'm writing in hunter Biden.

After voting for people who explicitly said they dont care about my support only to be blamed for their failures I'm putting my foot down and not voting for anybody enabling a genocide.

Don't worry I live in upstate new york so unless I literally wad up my ballot and throw it at Biden so hard he dies my vote will have literally zero effect on the presidential race and I'm aware this is a very privellaged position to have.

I'm also voting straight working families party in local elections which usually get about 80 votes and the working families party candidate is the same as the dems.
