Even as a joke, I hate it when people write in candidates like this. It reminds me of people writing "Harambe" when that was recent.
You can print off sample ballots and make memes all day.
A little levity during this crisis is understandable. As long as the context is clear that wasting votes isn’t cool.
Yeah, I think sometimes dumb memes are good to break the tension. A lot of people are on edge today.
I know I am, and I usually deal with stress rather well. There's a different weight to it this time.
I can't vote, not American, and honestly that doesn't make it easier. I don't want to have to go back to falling asleep wondering what bullshit I'll wake up to every. Fucking. Night. I'll take what laughs I can, but day drinking might be an option tomorrow.
I have several local races with only a single Republican candidate.
It doesn't matter if I write John Smith or Harambe, it isn't like the one on the ticket is going to lose and at least I got to vent a little. Best case the news does a little story on funny write in candidates.
Argh, why didn't I think of doing that?
Vote for "Pleasegod Anyoneelse"
Yup, there's a legitimate purpose to spoiling your ballot
Write in candidates don't spoil a ballot.
They do depending on what you write in, and writing in a candidate that's not eligible is spoiling adjacent if not outright spoiling
Yeah, the same way that rare is adjacent to eating raw meat.
A most somber dick out for my boy.
