hard liquor probably
Cry most likely. Voting doesn't seem very effective and it's less so when the choices are conservative extremist or conservative light.
Don't vote for a perfect choice; vote for the best choice, and keep doing it. You're not going to get 'perfect' right now, but excising actual cancer will improve the long-term health of the beast and enable even better choices in a few iterations.
Thinking Green party this year or whoever isn't trying to fuck us over
I'll research the voting habits of the candidates and vote for whoever has proven they can vote for what they believe in and not just party lines. So, probably no one.
For president, there's no way I'm voting for the orange convict if he's the candidate, which he probably will be because people that vote republican are morons. Unfortunately, based on where I live, my vote won't matter. I'll vote anyway.
If I dont vote Biden, it's a vote for Trump. If I dont vote Trump it's a vote for Biden. cancels out.
Voting 3rd party is like voting for 3 people it seems, I'll take advantage of that
The bourgeois elections are the least important part of politics
Not Trump
I think avoiding political memes & etc is probably a good idea.
Not voting. Both parties suckle only at corporate teats. My domicile is in the reddest state so my vote doesn’t matter & it costs like $10–15 to mail in my ballot from abroad making it really not worth my time or money.
They said vaccines for all Americans during COVID then someone had to come in & asterisk that that doesn’t include Americans abroad. You pay taxes but no services like Medicare are offered abroad & you’re one of the last on the list of priorities so feeling disillusioned is the normal.
If it's Trump on the ballet. Whoever else is better. Keep Hitler Jr out of office.
I have become a little active in my county party. Trying to learn the Democratic way of doing things (first impressions: no one is in charge). Hoping to be able to use my database and reporting skills to help improve the ground game for 2024.
I'm gonna become the gosh dang joker yall
A reelection of Trump will prompt seriously considering an exit strategy away from the US.
Passport processing times aren’t too bad right now, but will likely get worse as the election is closer.
Ignore all media, vote for whoever the democratic candidate is.
I realized that all the election media just makes me angry, and I already know who I’m NOT voting for, so there’s really only one choice anyways.
Further develop contingincy plan to GTFO of dodge if the country is insane enough to elect the cheeto man again.
I'm not party affiliated, but I will vote for the Democratic Party candidate. It wouldn't make any difference in my state, but I do it anyway. My state doesn't swing, so I will probably send some money to Democratic candidates in closest out-of-state Senate races (I don't waste money on sure winners or losers).
It's a hold-my-nose thing, since I'm really only about 50% in agreement with them. I tend to swing farther left on certain issues and near-libertarian-right on others. My primary concern at this point is averting a slide further into fascism. I've spent quite a bit of time in formerly-fascist countries and it's a messy thing to untangle. The scars last for generations.
Arizona here. Very likely voting straight Democrat. We’re a swing state that feels like it’s swinging further Democrat at time goes on. At least at ground level, it feels like things are changing for the better. Phoenix doesn’t look and feel like the land of the Karens and boomers as much as even 4 years ago.
they all moved to Scottsdale
Vote for the least worst option. Cry because I live in a red state and it won't make any difference.
Point and laugh
