JFC I hate this because I know even saying this will get me shot as a messenger Yeah I mean I do think that this is stupid and petulant but more than that it won't even work to do what you're trying to do, it's not how the rules of the elections work

I know you're not a "serious political thinker" *because you don't know that*, because you're saying "write in Bernie" instead of "vote for Gloria La Riva" because you don't know how qualifying for a write-in vote works and you likely don't know who Gloria La Riva is

People get salty when I explain how write ins work. There is a sealed envelope precinct worked get on the day of the election. Inside is a list of valid write in candidates (that filed their paperwork, etc.). The list is opened when the polls close.

Wait a minute. If you write in an ineligible candidate your entire ballot gets discarded, including your votes for local races and citizen initiatives?

No, it's just an invalid vote, it's like you left that item on the ballot blank (or "spoiled" it otherwise, like if you marked two bubbles for the same question)

Still do it for the down ballots. You don’t need to vote for pres to participate.
