Stressed spelled backward is desserts for a reason. Serve treats like cake or cookies with your favorite political slogans (see The Sweet Feminist<\/a> or Drunk Bakers<\/a> on Instagram for inspiration). Or, simplify it with donkey and elephant cookies or an assortment of red velvet and blue desserts. For a patriotic treat, make these American flag fruit kebabs <\/a>with strawberries, bananas, and blueberries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also the perfect day for some good old-fashioned comfort foods, like mac n\u2019 cheese, lasagna, crescent rolls, pizza, and any snacks that were childhood favorites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give back to the causes that mean the most to you this election season, whether that\u2019s healthcare, housing, the environment, education, or human rights. Because that\u2019s really what it\u2019s all about, right? You are hoping your candidate will help bring change because as a citizen, you can only do so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you help at a party? Instead of asking people to bring snacks or drinks, request that all guests bring items to donate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
