Guide to voting:
- Mark your polling dates on a calendar
- Make sure you are registered appropriately if you want to participate in a primary
- Ignore all electoral content and news as if it were a spoiler for a show you’re really into. Do not merely avoid seeking it out. Actively avoid it. It’s a waste of your time and mental energy.
- 3 days before the election, look up your ballot and read up on all their policies and major stories surrounding them. You can dedicate anywhere from 1 hour to the entire 3 days to this process. Your choice.
- Go vote. Ideally it should take an hour tops, but we all know that voter suppression can be fickle. Regardless, you’ve now saved hundreds of hours of memorizing polling minutia and obsessing about procedural quirks and getting angry at the theater of it all. Hopefully you used that time to organize instead.
this is the Chad grillpill voting method. just vote because it's a fun thing to do every few years and don't worry about it
I’d say vote because, on a local level, you can actually coalition build that way. I’ve personally been the deciding vote in an election where only 13 people voted. And the guy I voted in was a friend and a socialist while his opponent was a tea party nut. We’ve made a real difference over the past couple years and our little group of socialists who drank on the weekends has grown into a proper little org
Who knows
Maybe anyone who fucking looks into who these goddamn people are on the ballot you fucking imbecile
Sorry, it's very unusual for me to feel any kind of emotion at all regarding elections. But this is, like, someone who truly believes elections work proving that elections wouldn't work even if they worked the way libs thought they do. Just the height of absurdity

"Maybe research the candidates"
"I did so I could vote for the one who worked for a Dem."
Just, total pure ideology. No concept of material policy at all.
If you're not sure about stuff you don't have to fill in everything, it's not a test
not understanding how they are supposed to vote
Jesus fucking Christ. Even in non-partisan races, candidates routinely flash their colors in the run up to the election. As often as not, you'll have five Republicans running for School Board who are all calling the other ones RINOs.
This baby-brain is so disinterested in local elections that he can't even check the fucking websites.
They aren't doing that. They are blindly following a letter(which can be lied about) and have no clue what to do without one. It's moronic that they can't look up their candidates and just see what they are saying to decide.
They're pretty clearly just trying to avoid voting for anyone who identifies as Republican.
It’s moronic that they can’t look up their candidates and just see what they are saying to decide.
Not everybody has the available time necessary to research every election and then those candidates who they need more information about. This individual making tweets might, but there's still a larger problem afoot.
