i used to live in texas and every time i both didn't qualify for mail in voting and the hours long wait at the ballot place turned me away despite my best efforts. (i wish that portable personal urinals with privacy and dinner delivery to polling places with garbage cleanup were things).
i live in an affluent area of a blue state now like i used to and i plan on voting since i know i'll be in and out in less than 5 minutes like i was in the past.
i'm going to vote third party to show that i'm not onboard w a genocide committed by the same system & people that genocided my ancestors out of existence in this country.
I would strongly urge you to reconsider this voting strategy. By voting 3rd party, you are saying that you are fine with Donald Trump becoming president again which I believe is many times worse than what you have a problem with the current administration. Is him becoming elected really a better outcome for the overall future? While an important issue to you, you’re exposing a flaw in our election system in that your non-vote is just about the equivalent of a vote for Trump.
