There is only one correct way to vote, and it’s to vote against the entire ruling class

It seems the diaspora will be able to vote in the upcoming election (Make sure you register before November 20th on this link), and I’m looking forward to casting my vote. I wish to quickly share with you here my rationale for how I’m planning to vote and I hope you are persuaded to do the same.

I don’t know who will be standing for elections in my district. What I do know is that I’m planning to vote for whoever is standing against the politicians who ruined the country all these years.

Let me be as clear as possible: Even if the opposing candidate is a known thief, a swindler or a complete unknown with zero chance of being elected, that’s who I will vote for.

I don’t have some high-minded plan to bring the best person to do the job. I am not voting for a person’s ability to make change. My *only* objective in voting is to give the ruling class the middle finger 🖕🏼.

I don’t want a representative who will build a better future. I don’t want someone who speaks for me or protects my interests. I just want the blood of these fuckers. Because my vote is all I’ve got to get back at them.

They’ve taken our money, our lives and our freedom. What they can’t take away from me is my plan to spit in their faces and on their graves.
