Can we all vote our consciounce without our friends and acquaintances attacking us verbally and on social media? That would be a big plus.
To which I offer said "friends and acquaintances" options. Things like, "If you want me to vote for evil, why not vote for the Greater Evil?" Or great chestnuts like, "So... 'Hold your nose and vote blue, no matter who?' How's that working out for you so far?" Or, "So, you want me to vote for the party of https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/04/from-hastert-to-gaetz-lets-talk-about-republicans-and-sex-crimes.html?"
Eventually, they don't want to talk to me about it anymore, which is quite fine by me. If they were acquaintances, that's quite shut down. If they were 'friends,' they'd either know better than to start that crap or we'd be able to stop pretending friendship. *I* certainly would stop pretending, anyway.
ATM, I'm planning to "hold my nose, keep a vomit bucket handy, vote 'blue' and take a long healthy shower to try to wash away the funk after voting." But it has more to do with the effort of Libertarians to have me vote Democrat Party than anything else. I'm sure as hell not voting for the folks planning on Civil War II with an "amicable divorce" lead in. The ones who tried to overthrow government, failed at it miserably. Laughably, The ones who still have seditionists sitting in Congress. And I'm not a big fan of the "stoner section" of the same GQP pretending to be a separate party.
So it's either vote Democrat Party or don't vote. But just as I wish to vote my conscience, I have no interest in bothering people about theirs.
