      Hey, I get that writing in your dog might seem funny, but this election is way too important for that. If people don’t take voting seriously, it increases the chances of someone like Trump winning again in 2024. And with things like Project 2025 on the horizon, which aims to reshape the government in ways that could really hurt a lot of people, every vote really does count. We need to stick together and vote wisely if we want to avoid some serious consequences.

      When you shop for a place to live, do you buy/rent nothing because nothing is “perfect”? Or do you weigh the benefits and detriments of each available option and choose the best one?

      There’s a clear choice, and if you need to see what voter apathy gets you, look at Venezuela. We got a second chance because the Jan 6 attempt failed. If you don’t vote, the usurper might win.

        I would rather buy if i settled down or retired. I never weigh the benefits because I am always renting…well at least for the past 15 years. In my circumstance it is the best option. I currently can’t vote because I am not currently in my home state. I would vote harris but can’t vote because the rest of the year is filled with contracts for me to travel.

              I find it fascinating that you have no preference between the candidates. Do you really think it won’t matter which wins?

              I hoped so in 2016,but then we saw what happened after that.

              Absentee ballots work just like in-person ballots. You just mail them in instead of dropping them in the box at the polling place.

              What state are you in? It’s not hard to request an absentee ballot.

      Oh, so you’re in the “I’m part of the problem” camp. What kind of mental gymnastics do you manage to pull off to rationalize this?

      Are you young? Because progress is progress and you should never waste it. It may take a generation to gain an inch, but one bad year to go back a foot. I will never understand people who are willing to throw it all away because feelings.
