Like it or not we are stuck with a two party system. As fucking awful as Biden is, and he is, Biden is the lesser of two evils by far. And that applies to democrats/republicans as a whole.

Both parties/candidates are to some degree cool with genocide and privatization, but only one of the two stands out as the worst, and the worst by a lot.

Don't like it? Vote for local candidates/congressional candidates in primaries that will fix the two party problem. But in the mean time the better presidential option will be anything with a D next to their name.

I will not vote for the party of genocide supply. Aka the dems.

Local candidates are not going fix the two party system. That's a national issue.

I don't know the solution, but buying into the Dems bullshit "lesser of Two evils" AGAIN is not it.

Have fun being the same chump you were 8 years ago.

They're both supporting the ongoing genocide. This isn't helpful for deciding who to vote for.

Local candidates are not going fix the two party system. That’s a national issue.

Which is why I specified local/congressional. It's going to take all levels of government to unfuck us from a two party system.

I don’t know the solution, but buying into the Dems bullshit “lesser of Two evils” AGAIN is not it.

Only one of these choices is actively trying to turn our country into a theocratic hell hole.

The "lesser of two evils" is fucking awful, but it's true.

Have fun being the same chump you were 8 years ago.

If you can't talk about politics without resorting to personal insults then you must know how weak your argument is.

You are the one deciding between the two only, not me. I will vote for a candidate that has a platform I can support and nothing else.

The dems continue to get elected because of the Two party system. They aren't going to change it.

Let me know when it does tho....

Only one of these choices is actively trying to turn our country into a theocratic hell hole.

Yes, and the other will happily participate in genocide, be unable to create real change in Any area I care about and then pretend they are the party of moral superiority.

You vote blue you will still have red on your hands.
