        Yes, you are coping. That’s why I said it. Glad you recognize it as true.

        You are going to a 2 party election and not participating, which means you have a tacit agreement with the status quo.

        If you had a legitimate candidate, they would have primaried for one of the 2 parties that will actually matter in the election. If they can’t win a primary against the major candidates, guess what sherlock, they ain’t winning the election.

        If you aren’t aware of the 2 party system in the United States, then I agree it is probably your first election.

          Actually I’m just going to a presidential election and then participating. I’m not going to win, but that’s not my fault.

          I get it, it’s your first election, it’s very special and important to you that everyone votes exactly like you do. And I get it, because the Democratic Party is investing a lot of money into messaging campaigns right now to “spread the word” about how it’s “just a binary election”. That’s alright.

          I live in a swing state. I’ve voted democrat in the elections every year since I could vote. I’m not going to this year. I guess they should have done better. 🤷‍♂️
