    Dems will vote for Biden because he’ll only drink the blood of one baby while Trump drinks the blood of two.

    I get the harm reduction argument but jesus fuck we have 300 million+ people in this country are those two really the best we have to offer?

      If Repubs would quit voting for white supremacist totalitarianism I would be able to quit voting for white supremacist corporatism and vote instead for someone who is actually progressive. Or if we had score voting or something sane. Unfortunately the only rational option is to vote against the totalitarianism.

      Welcome to two-party America. You get to choose between a malicious tyrant, an apparently less malicious tyrant, or waste your vote. Those are your options. Choose carefully, you’re stuck with them for four years!

        Vote for 100% hitler or 90% hitler, or don’t vote and actually get double hitler. What a system 'murica has.

        And probably 8 years. Also have to decide which party you’d rather have in office at the end of those 8 years, since we seem to switch back and forth between presidents.

      So long as both sides suck capitalism’s cock, that’s what you get. Plus most of the 300+ million are too tired, dumb, or blinded to care about anything other than meaningless talking points. So we are left to vote for an imperfect candidate that is less likely to make the hellscape worse. The stakes are high, but i can see why fatalism just sets in and people say “fuck it.”
