This doesn't stop until you withdraw your consent from this game you keep playing, begrudgingly.
Voting is consent to be governed by the outcome. If you must vote, use your vote to send a message. The write in option holds significant power. It need not be a name. Wield your power with great wisdom. nostr:nevent1qqsd6cwtn444wxaff2jag4y4km52n9tsucrwn8n9g82jc7uqe0623cqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygxar7w4qtre2805068ca5j9azl6ynm7stpg7xfen28sua9svyf6yypsgqqqqqqsa9apyj
