    Ain’t nobody storming the capitol for Biden. I would have voted for him, or anyone really over Trump, but I’m not going to become a domestic terrorist for the guy.

      I think my short joke didn’t adequately explain things properly.

      I’m nearly 40. I’ve voted exactly twice. Both times I voted against Trump.

      I’ve never liked a single politician. I can’t think of a single one I feel did more good then harm. Other than exactly 2 times I never looked at an election and thought “one candidate is ‘lesser evil’ enough to matter. Different enough for me to take time out of my busy day to actually make a choice.” I’ve only seen 2 elections that made me think “if I don’t vote my life would be impacted more than taking a day off work”

      Edit: for example, if someone said to me "climate change and global warming are moving faster than we though. Pedestrian casualties from car accidents are higher than eever before. So we need you to vote for the best car. Honda Civic or honda Accord "

      I’m sure there are differences between the civic and the accord. Maybe some of those differences might impact the actual problems I’m worried about. It wouldn’t impact it meaningfully enough for me to research the civic and accord, take a day off of work, wait in line, then choose. However if the choice was the Honda Accord vs redneck bobbie’s illegally lifted truck that’s why too high to even see the car in front of you much less pedestrians and it’s got that oil leak that sprays onto the engine sending cancerous fumes everywhere plus he also let his breaks go for the past three years because, “if I wanted to slow down I wouldnt be driving!”… I might vote the Honda Civic is a better car. Not because I think the civic is awesome, Bobby shouldn’t be driving that fuckin truck.

      I wouldn’t storm the capital for Biden. I wouldn’t do shit for Biden. I would and did put effort into “not trump”

      I’m not going to storm the capital for “not trump” any time soon but depending on how things go later… It’s still too early to say for sure.
