I once got a -28xx on Reddit for a comment I still don't think was even interesting. From what I understand, of their scoring algorithm at the time, that means I had a lot more downvotes than that.

There's no question turnout is lower. Both Trump and Harris received fewer votes than Trump and Biden last time around. Neither of them are inspiring. Yeah Trump has a base, but a lot of Republicans don't like him but some still voted for him. Harris was uninspiring and had a lot of baggage from the last 3 and 1/2 years. She would not have won a primary in my opinion, if Biden hadn't insisted on going for a second term initially.

Not all states work the same. In Ohio I can just show up and tell them which one I want to vote in each time. I always vote in the Democrat or Republican primary, I get a voice without committing to one or the other.

Trump has said he'd veto a national abortion ban. No one seems to have a great solution for trans suicide at this point.

They just called Wisconsin for Trump which puts him over 270.

If Biden hadn't insisted on running despite his declining mental state, she wouldn't have won a primary, not very likely anyway. She is uninspiring and she carries the baggage of the struggling/non-existent middle class, housing market, 12 million border crossings etc.

I always vote for who I perceive as the lesser evil of the two. This year is no different. I'm not excited about what either candidate wants to fight for. I will oppose whoever is elected on multiple fronts.

Some of us are actually not Democrats or Republicans because we really think both sides are bad in different ways. I still voted though.

Actually you have, right before you wrote that comment.

I'd argue if you don't believe it you are.

Yes. And I love cilantro. Taste buds can be weird. If you're just feeding yourself I'd say stevia recipes count but I wouldn't serve it to a group of people.
