So, I have been giving this a lot of thought and come November I won’t be voting for team blue or team red in the upcoming elections, but I will be voting for a candidate I belive in.

I have decided that my vote will go to Claudia de la Cruz because she lines up with my beliefs.

Some might say that I’m throwing away my vote and that this will just let Trump become president since I’m not giving Biden my vote, but honestly he doesn’t represent me anyways and why should I vote for a party that doesn’t deserve my vote anyway?

I hope Trump goes down in flames all the way to hell where he will have pineapples shoved up his ass while dressed as a French maid, but if the Dems loose in November, it won’t be because me or many others just didn’t vote for them, it will be because they did not do anything to show us they deserve out vote.

Sure Biden has done a bunch of stuff for the American people, but I just can’t look away with the horror of what is happening in Palestine and be ok with him or other dems calling anyone who sympathizes with Palestinians as being pro Hamas or pro terrorism.

Sorry to anyone who isn’t in the US and sees this post, I know the US politics are super annoying for you all, but I just wanted to get this off my chest.

TL;DR - I’m not voting for Biden just because Trump bad. I’m voting for someone who represents me.

    Honestly, it ticks me off when people attack third party voters instead of going after the majority of eligible voters that just don’t vote at all. Like, if you have such a problem with my personal vote, please go after the people who didn’t even try first. Thank you for voting, and your reasons are yours and yours alone.

    Virtue signalling and punishing people who use their constitutional ability to vote vs those who don’t even bother absolutely infuriates me.

      It’s not about attacking a 3rd candidate - it’s that this is a 2 party system. You can fucking hem an haw all you want - you can believe whatever the fuck you want. You can be the most leftist fucking tankie or evangelical rightwing nut job. It doesn’t matter - be what you want, follow your ideals.

      But when it comes to voting - you have 1 chance to make your vote count that’s - during the primaries.

      After that you tow the line and vote D or R - because that’s the only way you will see the SLIGHTEST amount of change in the direction you want.
