2020 was… truly unique. It was so hard to stay away from doom scrolling, and I (and many others) were pretty disillusioned by the sad fact that so much of our country legitimately supported the Orange Man. I didn’t get a wink of sleep the night of the election because I genuinely considered it to be a make or break decision for America.

My point is that looking back on it, in the end the only real difference I made was at the ballet box. This year I’m going for the Head-in-the-Sand approach. I’m done with the political memes. Done with the Twitter screenshots. It just riles me up and this year I’m gonna do my best to fight that.

      Since 3rd party votes and not voting have exactly the same effect, which method do you plan to accomplish literally nothing with?

      I’d love to take that stance, but I don’t want fascists in power here who are promising political persecution and dismantling democracy, and also support the genocide of Palestinians. Project 2025 is terrifying.
