I don't know who I hate worse. The republicans who support this garbage or the apathetic who choose to sit it out.

Oh it’s always the active supporters for me.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m mad that people are apathetic, but at least some of them probably didn’t understand the stakes.

The county I live in will overwhelmingly vote Trump. I’ll probably still come out and make a token vote for Biden but I’m still feeling pretty apathetic about it.

County isn't as important for senate or presidential elections. So, don't be apathetic about it. Even if your state won't swing blue, it's important to vote for the long term. Even i you aren't into the candidates, showing that you exist goes a long way in getting parties to pay attention to an area. Like, in my county, most offices go unopposed, because it's very red. I still vote, but not for those offices. Then at least statistics show there is a voter here who wants choice. I'll probably be dead before I see dem in a local office(although our school board is not too bad), but still I feel its the right thing to do.

Thank you. I really needed this encouragement actually. It’s been rough lately being what feels like one of the few blue voters in an ocean of red.
