For who?
Edit: Weird that I can't get a serious answer to this question.
you libs are like an overexcited puppy with a new toy, you're gonna rip the seams out of "wierd" within a week and then you won't have it any more
Yeah you're right it's getting pretty overused.
Anyways who are you voting for?
Real talk, nobody. Might put in for PSL if it's on the ballot. If you're interested, I have a number of reasons why.
Edit: lol nevermind, I read your comments in the rest of the thread and have determined that you are not a serious person
I'm not voting.

The weird jab is only working against the fash because they're obsessed with aesthetics. And now that it's being overused by people who are similarly hollow, it's gonna lose its impact very soon.
You're not getting a serious answer because everyone here is irony poisoned as a defence mechanism from watching liberal electoral politics fail over and over again while continuously being gaslit by Dems. Most of us voted for Obama because we believed his progressive rhetoric. Then we watched him bail out banks and continue bloody imperialism and torture, failing to fulfill most of his promises despite at times controlling all three branches. We're living in the world of Obama's cynicism, or backing up further, of (Bill) Clinton's rightward shift into Republican politics with a Democrat mask.
Most of us backed Sanders then watched him get ratfucked twice. A lot of us still voted for (Hilary) Clinton because we believed she might be marginally better than Trump, and we watched her lose the electoral college despite winning the popular vote. A lot of us voted for Biden for the same reason, then watched as he continued Trump's policies and funded genocide.
At each step more and more people started realizing bourgeois electoralism is a sham and turned to reading theory and organizing. So we really don't care who you vote for. If you actually care about anything more than aesthetics, read some theory and join an org.
it was sarcasm.
