How do you vote?

For the US guys:
I'm curious, but do understand I am NOT trying to start anything here.
Having taken the red pill and rail on the lefties for promoting feminism, do you tend to vote republican?

How do I vote? Absentee ballot. I don't like setting foot in polling places anymore, after this:

How dare these shitheads intimidate ANYBODY. Go in, pull the lever, and then STFU. That's all you chuckleheads have a right to do.

Voting is counterproductive if you're a white heterosexual male in America.

So the real question here is do you vote? (I'm guessing the answer is no for most of you guys here)

I vote with my feet and my wallet when I spend time outside the USA.
Deprives the leviathan of my time and money.
Really the best way to "vote."

I vote early and often, like Al Capone.

I vote democrat to make things worse.
The only way out is for Westerners to pull their heads out of their asses, and that needs provocation.
Not to say Republicans are great, but I would prefer to make sure the side I more dislike gets most of the blame.

In Australia voting is compulsory. I generally wrote or drew something unpleasant on the ballot paper as my 'vote'.
I am happy to vote on any binding referenda however. I'm also OK with voting in 'party list' style democracies, since that gets much closer to actually influencing legislation. Voting in representative democracies is almost completely pointless.

I'm Canadian, but I don't vote as a matter of principle.
If I lived in Canada and didn't need to go through the trouble of an absentee ballet, I would definitely go to the voting booth, but I'd spoil my ballot in a creatively political manner.
But that's too much trouble for a guy who lives in Beijing.

You could just put in your ballot blank. It's not illegal not to vote, only to not rock up to the polling booth. Surprisingly when you force people to turn up, almost everyone submits an eligible vote anyway.
Emphasis added. Sure I could drop it in blank, but given I have to wait in that bullshit queue, I figure I deserve the satisfaction of mocking the system by submitting a depraved cartoon or highly offensive prose, over the top of their little neat little checkbox-and-name "be a good little subject and play along with our 'electoral mandate' fiction" paper as my 'democratic will'.

I don't.
If voting actually changed anything, they'd make it illegal.

I primarily vote Republican so they'll block gun control proposals. If this wasn't an issue I wouldn't vote at all.
With the way things are going I suspect within 30 - 40 years they'll pass some shit like they did in NY forcing me to turn my property in or become a felon. We'll see.

I vote libertarian, which means I vote republican. Establishment republicans suck ass, but the new blood is much more exciting. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Justin Amash, Scott Walker, Mike Lee, Trey Gowdy, etc. FTW!
