Tuesday, November 7th, 2023 is an election day, and I am fairly certain there is something in your neighborhood to vote for. Most of us can vote today or this weekend... it can't get much easier.

I live in an area with slightly more registered Democrats. However, Republicans get out and vote. If you are not voting, it is a vote for the local crazy candidate.

Use google if you have to. Make your plan.

Amen. AND, if you don’t vote, don’t complain.

If you do not know who to pick and they all seem like scum, think of it like driving a car. Pick D to drive forward and pick R if you want to go in Reverse. If you want to stay away from the major two parties, pick the candidates on one of those lines, but actually vote for them on a different (minor party) line.
For example, perhaps you want to go in Reverse to the good ol' 1950s with its racism, homophobia, xenophobia, rampant teen pregnancy due to poor sex education, stigmatization of the mentally ill, wife beatings, marital rape, corporal child abuse, and people glorifying war, so you choose to vote for the Republican candidate. But pick him (probably not a female candidate if R) on the Conservative Party line (or whatever similar-sounding party exists in your area with the same candidate listed). That way you do not feel quite so dirty as if you chose him on the Republican line.

Many, many thanks for your perspective and promotion of voting!

But, be careful, or you're likely to hurt pdub's and Gutter's feelings:
