As of late I've really been struggling with who to vote for (if at all). Unfortunately I live in a swing state, so I'm really trying to devote some thought to this and it's been difficult to have a discussion where someone doesn't call me a liberal (for considering Biden) or a fascist (for considering not voting for Biden).

I'd really appreciate some thoughts from the community on what you're doing and why.

    I'm going for Howie. Greens are going to be on the ballot in way more states and have far more name recognition. I figure enough people will be disaffected by their repellent electoral choices that the odds of them getting 5% of the vote are high enough for me to want to contribute to that total.

    Depending on what narrative you read, my state might be competitive in November, but fuck that. If Dems wanted me to vote for them, they shouldn't have spat in my face.

    I feel ideologically closer to PSL, but I think that part of me would rather engage in direct action like mutual aid, activism, or parody than cast a ballot.
