    That’s the most frustrating thing about all these back and forths. So much angst and arguments when the first question that needs to be asked is “do you live in a state that’s in play?” If not, then you don’t need to tell anyone who you’re not voting for and no one needs to tell you you shouldn’t, because your vote doesn’t matter and you’re not making the decision based on who you’d prefer to see in the White House. Deep-X votes are being decided in relation to their irrelevance and both shouldn’t be shamed as supporting migrant death camps and also shouldn’t be an opinion someone in a swing state should look to when making their own decision.

    I’m in a deep blue state. Usually I vote for Democratic presidential candidates merely to drive up the popular vote total and make the argument against the electoral college stronger. That’s all my (presidential) vote is worth, so if I decided not to cast it, it’s in that context, and someone in Georgia should be making their decision in an entirely different context and ignoring the position declarations of people whose votes really don’t matter.
