          I’m still voting for Biden or whomever they put in but I’m super grumpy that these are our choices.

          How…?

              That’s not the reason, the reason is because the US electoral system is dominated by the interests of those who pour the most money into it, not the will of the people. Voting harder won’t fix it, the only thing that will is building up parallel structures and pressuring from outside, like what has happened for nearly every major improvement America has seen.

        Trump straight up said he’d be way worse in the debate, but people were too busy complaining about Biden to listen to what Trump said. He literally said he wants Israel to go even further and finish the job! Anyone arguing to not vote for Biden because they’re concerned for Palestinians is full of shit. Full stop.

        At its core, I think it’s basically just the Trolley Problem. Some people would rather passively support a worse situation rather than actively support a better but bad situation.

          Those people are stupid and/or cowards.

      Trump is not the better choice, they are equally incompetent and corrupt. You are implying people only have an issue with Biden because of age. There are a myriad of reasons why Biden isn’t liked.

          Trump is closer to being your boy than mine. I view them both with the same disgust as you view trump.

            If you view a literal fascist with a playbook to dismantle democracy and institute dictatorship with the same disgust as a a run of the mill neoliberal, you deserve to be loaded into the cattle car next to me, and I’m going to be calling you an idiot all the way to the gas chambers.
