I'm an American citizen abroad, and the only time I voted was in 2020. This was literally just a few months after I determined "communism good actually???", so I was just a baby anarchist with zero theory. I voted Democrat, straight-ticket, the whole "shiniest of two turds, our democracy is in danger, beware the spoiler effect" deal, you know.
I didn't vote in the midterms, and I probably won't vote in 2024. The main reasons being that voting abroad is just kinda tedious, and I'm a lot more electorally lethargic than I was in 2020. If I actually lived in the occupied Dakota homeland, then maybe I would vote, maybe Green. It's hard to say. Right now I feel like voting is basically just a glorified opinion poll used by the government to determine how much it can get away with at any given time.
