Vote. Seriously.
Aug. 3rd, 2024 12:16 pm"This is regular bread, not whole wheat. So I'm going to make my sandwich out of broken glass instead."
"I have an issue with Harris, so I'm not going to vote for her in November."
The only difference between these two statements is that the first one is better: Your broken glass sandwich will only wreck you, not the whole country.

(In 2016, when I tried to ask y'all to be sensible, some dudebro commented that he was voting for Stein because PA was going blue regardless. Stein's share of the vote in PA was bigger than the margin by which we lost PA. He and people like him, who "voted their conscience," threw the election to Neo-Nazis. Don't be like them. You know better this time.)
