Yes and hell no.
Yes and hell no.
Yes and hell no.
Yes and hell no.
Yes and hell no.
Yes, and in the primary as well. It's really easy for me to vote with early voting and mail-in voting (for the general) so I might as well.Voting MAGA in the primary?
Depends. Is there an "abstain" option?You abstain by simply not voting
The only way I'm gonna go to the polls is to tell them how little faith I have in the system.
Yes and hell no.Yeah. No way am I voting MAGA. I actually like the US overall and don't want to destroy it. >_>
You abstain by simply not votingYeah but then I don't get to be an ass about it.
Yeah but then I don't get to be an ass about it.If there are write in spaces, use those and write Nobody. If there aren't, just leave that section blank. Though just not voting saves your time and does about the same thing.
Depends. Is there an "abstain" option?You don't have to fill in something for every contest on the ballot. If you want you can leave the spot for president blank and only cast votes for any or all of House/Senate, state and local races, or any ballot initiatives. If you want you can cast an empty ballot if you want to show that you're willing to vote but are dissatisfied with literally all of the choices given to you.

What if I don't care about the candidates because it's the voting process that I'm dissatisfied with?Then you don't vote, you don't get a voice and everyone ignores you.
Then you don't vote, you don't get a voice and everyone ignores you.Business as usual then.
Business as usual then.Cry some more.
Except the part where for the next week everyone harasses you for not wearing the sticker.
Cry some more.You were the one who told me not to vote.
I have zero empathy for non-participants.
You were the one who told me not to vote.Naw, fam. You're just begging for attention.
Voting MAGA in the primary?No. I've never voted republican in my life and I never will.
What if I don't care about the candidates because it's the voting process that I'm dissatisfied with?Then I suppose you don't vote but it's hardly some protest against the system. In fact, you are very likely playing into it. Arkansas wants the voters that don't vote the way they like to feel dejected and stay home. It makes sure that nothing ever needs to change.
You know, like how if you live in Arkansas, your state is going red no matter what you do and the vote that you cast is just a neat statistic when the Republican takes office even though most people voted for the other guy?

That's before getting into the fact that your ballot has a lot more than the presidency on it. Votes absolutely matter in the state and local elections and those elections matter. They might very well have more impact on your daily life than the president.
Kansas is a hard red presidency state. Always has been. My votes for previous democratic presidential candidates were largely meaningless because of that, it sucks, and I hate the electoral college because of it. But on those same ballots I also voted for the governor, a Democrat who won, my rep, a Democrat who won, and a whole host of local elections where my vote wasn't meaningless.
Business as usual then.If you're dissatisfied with the whole process and want to do something you can join a local political group, perhaps participate in demonstrations and protests. Nobody can promise those will actually have an effect but you'll at least meet new people.
Except the part where for the next week everyone harasses you for not wearing the sticker.
Yes and hell no.

Yes and hell no.
I don't think I'm going to vote.Republicans WANT you to think like this. Get out and vote if you understand that Trump will hurt more people.
It goes against my principles to not vote, but I live in a hopelessly red state and I don't feel like voting for Biden as a protest vote -- not when he's condoning the genocide in Gazza.
I know that Trump will continue to support Netanyahu and hurt far more people than what Biden would. But, again, it's only a protest vote for me since I'm an Indiana resident. If I'm simply going to be screaming at a brick wall, I'm not going to be screaming Joe Biden's name. I'm going to stay home.
Israel has a right to exist, but mother fuck Netanyahu and his genocidal campaign.
I don't think I'm going to vote.So there are no local elections or measures on the ballot that impact you?
