To all who did not vote and maintaited their ethics

RE: To all who did not vote and maintaited their ethics
Are you telling me you can't write in a name in your state? This is a legit question I'm not being sarcastic. I thought you could write people in on all ballots. Now whether they count or not is another story... but was there no option to write in Jill's name?

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."

If you think by not putting your name on it means you get out of the whole fiasco you are sadly mistaken because you are now a pawn that lets others move them around the board without even trying to say anything about it.

Refusing to pick between options you all find repulsive makes you a pawn? As opposed to voting for someone just because you find them the least reprehensible?

You don't think that maybe the reason we find ourselves in a shit-show every four years is that the people have been convinced that lowering their standards makes them a better citizen?

Again... why do you have to vote for the main people? Who is saying you have to vote for Trump or Clinton?

It's the racist and backwards Americans who are to blame. My major concern is our internet and our relationship with Japan. If the imports from Japan are changed or further censored I'll be quite angry. I hope that the internet remains and untouched and the anime/manga markets are kept freely traded.

Feel free to ignore the system. That doesn't mean the system will ignore you.

Abdicate your own voice, great. Criticize others for speaking up? Not so great.

So no vote at all? Or just not for president?

I apologize then. I thought you could write names in regardless. I can understand why you would say none of the above. I was always told about how people all over the country were writing in crazy names for the hell of it. I knew that Jill wasn't on the ballot but I thought you could still write here in. If you don't mind my asking, which state are you in?
