So... no commentary on the elections, the DNC, RFK Jr., or Bernie?

All of the above would be on-topic (given the picture in the OP) and potentially lead to this thing those of us with more than one functional synapse call a "conversation". But instead we get what: tangential meaningless prattle and baseless ad hominem attacks?

You people really really suck at this.

This sub isn't dying; it's being murdered.

I would love to see Charles Palentine run again but I haven't heard anything about him since the 1970's.

.. I will be writing-in my vote or voting third party as usual. It depends on how desperately the poll worker sighs when challenged with doing something extra or unusual.

Re: the primaries - I'll vote for one of the non-winners if the state primary is still meaningful when held....which it usually is not.

Why talk to a sneering know it all?

Pointless effort.

If you don't want to engage in conversation the very least you could do as a poster, not to mention a Mod and therefore a representative of the Forum, is refrain from shitting all over the thread.

Or is that level of self-control and just basic civility too much to ask?

I think you need to take a deep breath. You are clearly out of sorts. Feel better.

Up and until Trump and Trumpism is destroyed, I cannot throw my vote away. The consequences have been devastating.
You live in CA. The election will not be close there or in my state. There is a bit of luxury involved, on the other hand it does allow for casting a vote for ideas that will not be represented in the next administration.

Yes, I am aware. I voted for Stein before. I don't want to show any support for other candidates so they split the vote in battleground states.

I'm relatively certain that no write-in votes are going to swing the election. It's more of a personal protest vote. A 3rd party vote has different consequence and could get my support depending on who is running. I can't comment at the moment since 1 year is a very long time in politics and the life of any individual. The one certainty is that I will not be supporting any radical conservatives.
