    I call it “defensive” voting. Not voting for actual progress, just voting to prevent further deterioration.

    I put practicality over ideology, and in accordance with this have already voted for Harris. But I can still express my disappointment.

      You are right, and this is what I would end up doing if I were an American citizen, however I am not, and have never even visited either American continent.

      However, as someone who grew up as an abused child, harmed by a society that blamed me for being poor, disabled, autistic, and an immigrant, I cannot help but feel that I would gladly swap my own life to save even one innocent person harmed by state terrorism. It leaves me feeling like I would prefer to be dead that see this happening.
