    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.
