ugh, I’ve had some success by arguing you should at least deface a ballot. Why assume they’ll know you’re mad and not lazy. If 10% of people wrote in “fuck all y’all” you might actually get people trying to win over their vote.
“You showed up for the protests didn’t you? You didn’t just assume they got the message did you?”
If 10% of people defaced their ballot this would be a international scandal. The ‘champions of democracy’ have at-scale revolt in their democratic process.
Think J6 but worse in terms of recognition. We are still talking about J6

But man it’s like talking to a wall
Robots that scan ballots don’t give a shit about your scribbles and will just not count the vote.
Then you’re back to accelerationist nonsense
Defaced ballots are counted. Not towards any party but they are recorded.
I’m not saying it’s a silver stake, I’m just saying it clears the ever low bar of being better than “not voting at all”

I think there’s more effective ways to show you’re angry than throwing your vote away.
If you truly, truly don’t believe either vote makes a difference, doing nothing is still worse.
Anything is better than nothing.
