Even an incompetent person with some policies you oppose is better than someone actively working against you and your democracy.
And I'm sure the Democrats will have a competent, intelligent candidate with sensible policies.

The most basic requirement for any leader in a democracy is that they support democracy (and therefore, the constitution).
It's not difficult to find such a person, except in the #GOP.
Other qualities, such as intelligence and competence (which #Trump doesn't have either) are secondary:

Notice how he says "Just in", as if there was a source other than his mad imagination.

If you're not sure whether you are registered, or where your polling station is, you can check at checktheregister.ie . Your polling station could be different to the last election. It's stated on your polling card.

Bring identification, and your polling card if you have it. If you don't have your polling card, you can still vote (provided that you are registered).

- "X" etc. against candidates that you're not voting for, especially if there is only one of them: It can be argued that the "X" indicates a candidate that you're voting for. Some people mark a line through the box, which can look like a "1". Leave the space blank.

If you're casting a protest vote for Gavin, fill in a second preference so that your vote is not wasted.

Some common mistakes we see that can spoil ballots are:
- Writing other than the numbers beside each candidate: Any slogans, opinions, or whatever (they all spoil the vote).

And imposing sanctions on a country because of the actions of that country (not because of the religion of its citizens) is not #antisemitic.

and don't even seem to have the intelligence to understand how cutting their own services and benefits will affect them (and #Trump will tell them it's somehow the Democrats' fault).

Since his actual claims of how it will be funded are fantasy, it would have to actually be funded by even more cuts, or even more borrowing (when we should be reducing debt).
But #MAGAs would vote for it, because they've no understanding of long-term consequences (e.g. of borrowing)
