Current Events > To those who can vote in US midterms, what are you voting?

(+) Yeah! (+)

There are no other options.

Nothing, because I cannot vote in US midterms

Gotta vote all blue this time and probably for the foreseeable future.

lol @ the loaded poll options

My vote in Missouri is worthless, so my plan if I vote at all is just to write in a bunch of communists to be funny. I figure Trotsky for Senator and Stalin for Representative should be a fun combination. See what antics those two get up to.

Dems, since there arent any good third party candidates for me to help the republicans win.

That's quite the oxymoron.

Wonder how many (tens/hundreds of) thousands of voters will have the same attitude.

I'm voting to legalize weed, and likely leaving the rest blank.

It's both funny and sad, because it's true.

I'm voting dem like an intelligent person.

Wish the election would have results similar to this poll.

already sent mail in early ballot. Voted all blue (though I live in a far left area and I've since seen a lot of signs for a write in candidate for something, so I dunno if I made the best choices). Also have a handful of state-based questions. Voted on those based on what they are.

Voted straight blue, hoping AZ is smart enough to not elect Kari Lake and Blake Masters. We also had some crazy propositions this year, many of which focused on weakening the power of ballot initiatives.

Straight Dem because there's not a single republican politician that isn't a piece of shit.

Let's be honest, all the options suck, the democrats just suck less. i.e. same as every election

blue

Probably gonna do a republican vote this year.

Republican, because it's somewhat approaches my conservatism the most, but no party is perfect.

Not sure about the propositions yet, but I've got time to read up on them. As for the people I've got a few more to figure out. City council is a slog because of how many people are running.

Straight Democrat.

Best thing we can hope for is that somehow things like winner-takes-all and gerrymandering are exchanged for a straightforward one-person-one-vote system, as such a change would open the door for other parties to stand a reasonable chance of getting elected.
But that's not likely to happen, as whoever has the influence to implement that will have been placed in such a position because of the current system.

I've been voting Democrat since I could vote in 2005. This election will be no different.

Never going to happen in missouri, it sucks but it is what it is.

I'd be surprised if there are any competitive general elections in my Brooklyn district, but I'll vote anyways.

I rather enjoy living in America and don't want it to turn to utter dog shit, so I'm doing the sensible thing and voting all democrat, because Republicans are fucking hot garbage.

I already voted here in Georgia. Straight blue for every race there was a choice. Feels good to vote against utter trash like Walker, Kemp, and Greene. I can't say that I'm really all that optimistic about the results though.

Some less-than-reuptable pollsters have Hochul trailing or tied with Zeldin, I think. I don't believe them, but you never know...

I'm betting the vote gets about 60% yes, then legal bullshittery ensues immediately.

I'm not American so I can't vote but if I could it would be democrat. I couldn't imagine voting for anyone in the current republican party.

I care. Please continue blowing hot air.

third party for the exactly one libertarian candidate on the ballot

Bro, Im in Missouri too and wouldnt ever make voting into a joke. Youd be surprised at the results if less people had your outlook on politics. If democrats have good polling numbers itll show a need for democrats to campaign more and maybe a better one will come along. Its not always a race in these states. Sometimes it takes time for change to occur.

Might be the first time I vote a straight party ticket. I'm in NC and absolutely can't stand the Republican nominee for Senator. Most of the other open spots for the state court are crazy important too. My main issue is abortion and I would hate to see a national ban.

My county consistently votes ~80% Republican in elections. Democrats will never have good polling numbers here.

I voted for the party that doesnt shit the bed over and over again.
