    None of those parties have a ghost of a chance of winning, and with as razor thin as the win margins were in 2016 and 2020, I’m not confident Biden will win if we don’t vote for him. I sincerely hope I do not have to explain why Trump would be worse on literally every issue (especially Gaza) than Biden is.

      Then do something about it instead of complain. I am, what are you doing? You vote for corruption.

        Bro’s protest voting when the Weimar American Republic has Nazis on the ballot and thinks building “grassroots support” for the twentieth year in a row justifies it when the world is about to run out of time anyways

        You want Green candidates? Tell them to run as Democrats or make a fucking militia.

        Nobody likes voting for the lesser of two evils, but we all have to if we want to stop an even further decline into hell. Our system is broken, and we don’t have any way of fixing it immediately, so we have to work with what we can. Trump as president will have immediate and direct consequences for many people, and it will be the fault of people like you that it happened. At this point, not voting for Biden is the same thing as voting for Trump. You may continue virtue signaling after we get through the crisis right in front of us.

          You’re not voting for the lesser of two evils, you are voting for corruption and evil while doing absolutely nothing about it.

            The system is set up in a way that the only viable options are between two evils, unfortunately. Under a FPTP system where the only good options are minority parties that won’t win a single seat in their districts, you’re left with the choice of voting for the lesser evil, or voting for your morals but increasing the risk of the greater evil winning.

            It’s a no-win situation.

              No, you can vote for whoever you want. You all on here are too lazy to gather support for another party.

            You’re voting for no one, giving more of a chance for the greater of two evils and still doing nothing. Where your fucking guillotine?
