The European Parliament elections are tomorrow* and there’s nobody to vote for. (technically e-voting and pre-voting started on monday, but I always vote on the „correct“ day)

The only mainstream party that doesn’t want war with Russia (or says it doesn’t) is EKRE. However, I don’t want to vote for them. Not only are they very conservative but recently their MEP Jaak Madison was accused of sexually harassing someone.

Another option is KOOS. They, too, are socially conservative but they are the only anti-NATO party. Not much point in voting for them though, polls show KOOS will get less than 2% of votes.

I probably shouldn’t vote at all. Not only is my vote worthless but we only have 7 seats in the European Parliament so it doesn’t matter anyway. I know that bourgeois elections are mostly pointless, it just sucks to see how little my opinion matters.

Sorry, this is mostly a vent post with some links to give y’all context (not very good sources), I just feel alone and nobody IRL understands.

    If you’re going to vote; vote for the only local party that represents you. DankZedong made a wonderful point below and for Americans the same thing applies except with state legislature. Plus you get to feel smug owning both the libs and chuds by being a “USELESS 3RD PARTY VOTE!!!” when you’re actually giving support to a party that represents you.
