      You can vote in all other elections too, which would make a re-election of him have less bite.

      It’s through eroding all systems between local mayor and the presidency that the right wing has any power.

      The president has no power if all layers below his position are steadfast against him.

        Also not really an option for a majority of rational people, if you live in a swing state absolutely but our political system by design gives rural states vastly more power than urban ones, and most people aren’t exactly about to move to shitfuck nowhere, missouri to try and change the political landscape there.

      You can try to convince other people who would’ve stayed home to vote instead… That’s essentially multiplying your vote.
