Who are we voting for this election?

Voting in a bourgeois democracy yada yada… But seriously if we all came together and went out to vote, who’d it be? I saw joke responses for Markiplier that seemed to gain traction on tiktok the same day, other comments here and on YouTube proposed Jill Stein(or it was just yt and my mind is playing tricks). Asking because I had had a discussion with my roommate (the other roommate that isn’t the LL) and he said something along the lines of if I don’t vote I don’t get to complain, which i don’t agree with but understand the sentiment. That and we discussed more of an importance of local elections rather than national. And idk I’m not one for caring anymore. If things were better and more hopeful I’d try but teeth hurt and it’s not getting better, hair is falling out, body is weak, diet is shit, youth is gone, and I’ve nothing to show for it. So I definitely don’t care anymore and more than likely won’t participate myself unless I really see some sort of movement even then I’d probably walk into traffic before voting again.

    I’m voting green. I think PSL has a better platform, but green is more likely to get enough of a vote that anybody notices that people are voting third party.

    This is all splitting hairs. The national election takes up way too much room in the public conscious, and the primary reason you should vote is to keep “tough on crime” psychopaths and evangelical Christian cultists out of local government roles, particularly county sheriff, district attorney, and school board.
