If you're going to cast a protest vote during the presidential election, the primaries is the time to do it. You're only voting for the presidential candidate that will represent your political party, so there's less risk of getting someone you won't like.
I don't know if it's official yet, but Donald Trump will almost certainly be the Republican nominee for the election this November. The same can be said for Biden as the Democratic Nominee, as I don't know if an incumbent president has ever lost their party's nomination. So while we will nearly certainly have to pick between an old man with bombs and an old man with bombs who wants to tear down the government and rebuild it with himself at the helm, you can still show your disapproval at the ballots.
Trying to proofread this and it sounds like a fucking Trainwreck. I don't know if that's my fault or the government's.
