 "Dont vote, dont encourage them" -- Adam Back

What can you do that is more effective than voting?  Easy.  Find a small project on github that you like.  And add a star to it.  Most developers do not get any payment whatsoever for their work.  A simple star can make all the difference between having a good life, or being motivated to help others.  Especically on the smaller projects, I guarantee it will be noticed.  And it will have a much bigger impact than voting harder on your designated election day.

 Other side of the coin is that if you vote for one or the other (both are deep state) they feel they have a mandate.  They also know how the game is rigged, they know the lies they tell, and what they see is turkeys voting for thanksgiving.
