I haven't wanted to vote for anyone I've ever ended up having to vote for ever in my whole entire life.

I always want what I want in the primaries and do what I have to in the election.

Voting, for me isn't about finding someone I admire or who lives up to my morals or values

I mean, there is almost no collective experience I've ever had where I "really like" or "really want" what most people want. From the presidency to the Oscars to what food is available at the grocery store or at a restaurant menu.

I am rarely "in the majority" about any opinion I hold, so why would I ever think that a primary process would select a candidate that I prefer?

I register what I want when my feed back is sought, and when it is discarded I choose from the menu.

But I'm not ever someone whose desires and preferences and values are going to be fulfilled by popular consensus. And I think it would be very strange at the ripe old age of 56 if I was still shocked by such realities.

and the fact is: we are making decisions with MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE.

Pretty much NO ONE is going to get what they want.

Voting is a right, but one that is more like a duty - the collective is rarely interested in satisfying any single individual’s preferences unless your needs and values fit right in the dead center of the dominant, popular narrative

So I vote to reduce harms.

I work for liberation and revolution elsewhere.
