Not in a state where my vote counts so it doesn't matter much. My political plans are trying to avoid getting thrown in jail per the popular bipartisan SB 686 for being too outspoken about opposing the genocide of Palestinians.

Since the 2010 Citizens United decision when the supreme court legalized bribery, the best I've been able to hope for is a managed and slow as possible decline into a feudal-like state with a heritable and defined noble and peasant class. Hopefully nuclear war will prevent the worst possible consequences of climate change so I can have a little hope while I'm being vaporized.

Whichever is the lesser of the evils. It seems that's been the majority of our choices lately.

To be clear I'm all for the people: whoever will create the least amount of suffering, and retain the greatest amount of human rights. It feels like we've stopped making progress and the best we can do for now is cling desperately to what we still have

So... not republican. Obviously.

A lot of trolling about voting green party, not voting, not voting Biden. Any of these positions is pro Trump, and that's the simple truth.

So admit that at least, you WANT a dictatorship.

Not voting and enjoying a beer

If Trump gets elected again somehow then... I don't know what we can do to fix the country. I can't put into words my feelings about that situation, but I worry it will cause me to no longer believe our country can be saved.

Writing in Xi Jinping (no, not that one, a different one)

I think it was Lewis Black who said, "I don't know if you've noticed, but the two party system in this country is a bowl of shit looking at itself in the mirror."

I vote for who earns my vote. I refuse the forced choice of two terrible options.

I'm not voting for Genocide Joe unless the US forces Israel to end its genocide of Palestinians.

The 2020 election got me off of facebook and most other social media. Not quite sure how I’ll approach Lemmy going into 2024, seems ok for now and not the dumpster fire that facebook was during 2016 and 2020. If it gets too bad I might block national news & political communities and see if that helps. I already know that Trump/GOP represents fascism in America, so I don’t really need more news to confirm that point or help me make up my mind going into the election.

I've been dreading it since 2020. I might turn my phone off the entire year.

Things will get inevitably worse. Voting might slow that decline slightly if we're lucky.

The only hope for any kind of improvement, to reach a slightly tolerable world, is mass action outside of voting, and that just doesn't seem to be happening. So it's hard to care too much.

I live in DC, so my vote doesn't really matter. So I'll be leaving the president spot blank, and just voting for the most left non-incumbents I can on city council, ed board, etc etc.

Oh boi I gotta watch which bourgeoise gets elected again. The Redfash or the Bluefash.

Waiting for the impromptu Cornel West vs Jill Stein debate ig

Fighting like hell right now to get viable candidates for local offices in my area, because the deadline to announce your candidacy is less than 30 days away for us, and many offices go uncontested. I might not pay too much attention to news on the national level, but I'll definitely be spending the next year working to campaign and canvass for local candidates, register people to vote, and helping people get to the polls.

The only reason he lost is because people were loud, reading, reposting and following. People who probably wouldn't vote did because of the doom scrolling post being shared and talked about. Personally, I will continue to do it because this guy is running on revenge.

My state has open elections. In the primary, I'm voting for the least bad republican candidate. In the general, I'm voting democratic, which unfortunately probably means Biden but at least not trump.
