Who are we voting for this election?

Voting in a bourgeois democracy yada yada... But seriously if we all came together and went out to vote, who'd it be? I saw joke responses for Markiplier that seemed to gain traction on tiktok the same day, other comments here and on YouTube proposed Jill Stein(or it was just yt and my mind is playing tricks). Asking because I had had a discussion with my roommate (the other roommate that isn't the LL) and he said something along the lines of if I don't vote I don't get to complain, which i don't agree with but understand the sentiment. That and we discussed more of an importance of local elections rather than national. And idk I'm not one for caring anymore. If things were better and more hopeful I'd try but teeth hurt and it's not getting better, hair is falling out, body is weak, diet is shit, youth is gone, and I've nothing to show for it. So I definitely don't care anymore and more than likely won't participate myself unless I really see some sort of movement even then I'd probably walk into traffic before voting again.

I'm mainly voting to keep the crazies out of school boards. Those races can get scary close, and they don't have party affiliations listed on the ballots, so it's important for me to actualy talk to my neighbors and tell them which specific people to vote for.

Some of my state an national level Dem reps are decent, and I'll vote for them. The rest are... typical Dems, which means pro-genocide scratched liberals.
