This is fucking madness yet crickets from Mitt and Mitch and all the sensible moderate republicans.

I get that, and if his endorsement would make a difference in swing states, I wish he would. But Harris/Walz, in the abstract, is a very weak ticket. Other than the fact that their election would mean the end of Trump's political career (admittedly, that's a HUGE plus) I can't think of a compelling reason to vote for them. As my vote here won't make any difference, I just voted for the LIbertarian.

As it has no meaning, why did you feel the need to vote at all? Or to use your vote in such a symbolic but (sorry) meaningless gesture? Genuinely interested. Who is the intended audience for your message?

What makes you think this is different from any other vote?

His chance of being the deciding vote is 0.0000000000000001% instead of 0.000001% in a swing state.

Every vote is mostly just a statement.

They are usually statements that should be made except in extreme circumstances where the statement needs to be no vote because of poor and limited candidates.

My ballot had several items I was interested (propositions, mayor and tax matters) in so of course I voted. But sure, I could have simply abstained on the presidency, and perhaps should have. But I like some of Oliver's positions (e.g., immigration, market-driven economic solutions, etc.) so it was kind of a coin flip. Our senate race is between Adam Schiff (of whom I am not a fan) and Steve Garvey (never), so I did in fact abstain on that one.

You are right. Dude is OOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDD. Way too old to be out there campaiging, and certainly too old for anything substantial.

Hey, look at that, he's the same age as Donald J. Trump!

Ted, remember your goofy attempt to convince people you weren't in love with Trump by calling him "Drumpf"?
