    if you see an option with a write in part, write in someone instead of casting a vote for a candidate you don’t like.

    if there’s not an option to write in your choice, don’t fill that part out.

    someone else commented and talked about being in a place where everything is pretty much dominated by the republican political machine. in those cases it might be better to focus on mutual aid and working in local county and town meetings instead of attaching yourself to a party.

    if you’ve got the time, putting the screws to someone in a county board of commissioners meeting over spending a bunch of money on the local cops riot gear that they never use instead of straightening up peoples screwy culverts is a sure win.

      I wouldn’t even know where to begin. Between my job and everything else I have going on I don’t have the free time or mental energy for that level of political activism.

        me neither anymore tbh, especially when meetings are scheduled around someone elses time and i gotta take off work or whatever to make em.

        if you really feel left out, just don’t vote for people that don’t align with you no matter who else is on the ticket and help out the people around you when you can.

        sometimes the best activism we can do is just taking care of each other!
