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. 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 can continue virtue signaling after we get through the immediate crisis 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 FTPT 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?

Bro’s protest voting when the
WeimarAmerican 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 anywaysYou want Green candidates? Tell them to run as Democrats or make a fucking militia.

Dems are actually fascists, and you are as well for not only voting for them, but gathering support for them online when you could be doing that for a decent party.

Yes, yes, we all know what happens when you scratch a liberal but it’s better than not having to scratch to find it. Even if all that’s holding the powers that be back is a skin-deep veneer of civility and deniability, a vote to strip that veneer away makes you a fool, not a revolutionary.

There’s no need to scratch. They openly support the genocide of children.
The real fool is the one they puts no effort into change.

Imagine watching that debate and saying someone is a clown for not voting for them.

The Democrat party is just as corrupt and bought out by corporations as the Republicans are, but at least they aren’t trying to get the country to circle the drain as quickly.

The past 4 years prove you wrong on that.
