Something about the idea that voting for president only matters if you live in a swing state, and that all the people in blue states or red states can indulge themselves in principled nonparticipation because the outcomes are preordained, strikes me as akin to playing with fire.

Is it really coherent to say "both sides are awful, write in Mickey Mouse or burn your ballot or just stay home and get drunk, unless you live in Pennsylvania, in which case maybe consider taking one for the team and compromising yourself by voting for the lesser evil?" Is that really the message that will lead to a preferable outcome?

What it sounds like to me is a sign that 1) you take your local electorate for granted, and 2) you see avoiding the worst case scenario as somebody else's problem.

I remember when Florida was a swing state. I also remember when Pennsylvania wasn't.

Haven't drawn 2D art in a while. Bristolia insolens from the Lower Cambrian 520 million years ago😊

Every day of my professional life amounts to telling teenagers variations on the following:

"Google is not a source of information. Google is a tool for locating sources of information. Google does not know anything. Google can only tell you what somebody else said they know. It is up to you to evaluate the reliability of what Google presents you with."
