    But… what if your electoral system requires you to vote for 1 side, and one of those sides is seeking to remove the choice between sides?

    Really, it might be nice to think of yourself as not belonging to a team, but I think that’s just a refusal to acknowledge the shitty state of US politics. Like if you don’t want to be on a team then by default you’re on the team that will allow you to choose.

    “Yeah my mum and dad want a divorce. Dads a violent abuser who’s trying to kidnap me, but I don’t want to choose sides you know”

      Not being on a team doesn’t preclude you from voting for one that you think would be best, given the current circumstance.
