    Thankfully I vote in a place without a brain dead voting system, so I have the luxury of voting for who I actually want. It would be great if the US could have that too, but sadly they don’t. Once you get to the actual elections there are only 3 choices: the fascists, the limp dicks, or leave the choice to others. However much you dislike Biden, those are the choices. The time to affect what the choices are is before that in primaries and local elections and it takes time and work. A lot of it. It sucks, but that’s what it is.

    And maybe, just maybe, y’all can do try to do something about that voting system.
