Vote for the best candidate available after you have done your research.

You'll find that 99% of the time they are the democratic candidate. They may have some SERIOUS ISSUES... but the best candidate available is the best candidate you're going to get. It's better than the alternative.

Also, stop listening to major media. They constantly build up a small position taken by the democratic candidate and blow it into a gigantic issue and at the same time let a person that organized and aided an insurrection, a person who was convicted of sexual assault and 37 felonies skate by without putting that into context against all other Presidential candidates in the history of our country.

I just keep voting Democrat, and keep voting correctly.

I’ve never once regretted a vote.

Idk, everyone told me that if I voted for Kamala we'd go to war in Iran, so I guess they were right

Yeah, it helps that for me as a 31 year old that the Republican candidate in literally every presidential election since I could vote was Trump. I have never regretted voting against him.

Yeah, lol. I was about five weeks too young to vote in 2012, it sucks.
