Ok. I don't disagree.

But Candidate Chicken will work slowly, incrementally, toward improving things. You'll probably be disappointed at the speed at which anything happens, but Candidate Chicken is a steward, and will move on.

If Candidate Steak changes how we cater the events, then either he'll just keep on serving Candidate Steak until we're all dead from explosive diarrhea, or he'll ensure we can only choose different KINDS of grotesque steak going forward.

Agreed, but also true of an R vote in most cases.

This.
And in my opinion, my way to show, albeit so so minute of a difference, ( which can be said the same about your own vote in your state ), that the catering options should be changed, and that our options are not acceptable, is to not vote.

On a personal level, I always do a couple rounds of research on my local politicians and try, to my BUD's eggroll eyerolls, watch as many of those debates as I can.

And when the dry chicken or well done steak shows up at the wedding, you can know that you didn’t want either and it wasn’t your doing that either the dry chicken or well done steak gets put on your plate.

And if the person next to you says, when the dry chicken gets put on your plate and his, and says, you chose this, you can say, no, I didn’t. Because you actually didn’t.

I disagree. Many of the Right are entrenched in religious dogma, but the majority of us care about the economy (which encompasses matters such as the border, inflation, energy prices, and outsourcing), fixing a broken educational system, and the economy - in that order. Did I mention the economy?

No one I know of genuinely thinks DJT is a man of God. There are idiot outliers, sure, but no one seriously believes it. We’d love to see a person of faith who can also effectively address the primary areas of concern step up and take the reins, but it looks very unlikely.

i disagree, to an extent

imo, the better approach is to convince more people to value voting in situations other than presidential elections

getting the catering situation changed won’t happen by voting or not voting in presidential elections

Agreed. Maybe people should pay more attention to the idiots they put into Congress so we can actually get something done.

Then your problem is with the primary process and the choices available to you at that point, not with the general election. That's the time to "make your point" where you aren't fucking the rest of the nation. Sitting out the general election isn't making your point.
