Swing state vs non swing state is a fallacy. Unless your vote were literally the tie-breaker (unlikely) in a swing state, it’s no different than in a non-swing state.
The truth is every vote is just a regular person like you casting a ballot, no matter the result. You have neither control over nor certainty about what anyone else will do. So vote if you think everyone in your shoes should vote, stay home if you think everyone in your shoes should stay home.
Full disclosure: I voted for Trump even though I’m registered in CA. I wanted to repudiate the Regime to the greatest extent possible, and voting for the Orange Man Bad was one small way of doing that.
Like many Trump voters (first time for me) I am under no delusions that he’s the second coming of Thomas Jefferson. He’s a flawed person, but I can live with that because he is an actual person, not an empty vessel for The Regime. And he was MUCH better on foreign policy and social policy than The war-mongering Regime.
Trump’s covid response was abominable, and he’s never apologized for fast-tracking the clot shot. Hopefully RFK changes that, but I’m not banking on it.
Anyway, just my thoughts — I don’t agree with the people here that think voting is futile. Yes, both parties are the same, have the same clients, but a vote for Trump isn’t a vote for the uniparty IMO, it’s a vote against it.
And if I turn out to be wrong (and I might be because honestly I have no way of knowing for sure), I am at peace knowing that there was nothing to lose because The Regime is the nut low.
