I'm also in CT since we aren't a swing state, who we vote for for president won't matter anyway. In any case, Bridgeport, Hartford, and New Haven drive the voting rolls. I've voted Libertarian in the last three elections.

I'm hoping we get some third option on the ballot.

“Howzabout ‘transwomen’ ‘reframe’ their self-conception to think about the rights, needs, and feelings of others before themselves? Which is a consummately female way to think. Take notes, boyz. You’ve got a lot to learn.”

Nailed it!

Wow! You really said it like it is! I get tired hearing from women” You have to vote for Biden!” No, I don’t! Plus his giving in to Netanyahu is another reason not to vote for him! Trump is no better except on the trans ideology.

There is now a group of Democrats that deserves attention: DIAG, Democrats for an Informed Approach to Gender. If there is any Democrat who is sane on the trans issue , he or she should be supported.

Nice rant. Your arguments aside, your voting strategy is well-founded and effective. Rather than not voting at all, signal to election result analysts of both parties your rejection of both presidential candidates by leaving that choice blank BUT continuing to make your usual choices for down-ballot races. This behavior shows up clearly in the results as a growing mismatch between the numbers of votes cast for president relative to those cast for down-ballot positions. The reason behind the mismatch can be inferred by analysts when examining historical voting patterns relating to drop-offs in straight-ticket voting as well as differences between presidential and other high-profile races (e.g. U.S. Senate) on a party basis. I routinely vote this way myself when the occasion warrants it.

I intend to vote down-ballot...assuming any of the candidates aren't anti-female either.

Not voting for the Republic of Gideon no matter *who* brings it.

'-woo' is a suffix that can be attached to anything that's more New Age than evidential ;)
