    Good thing our country is a Democracy and there are a multitude of other options. Not just Fascist Dictator A or Fascist Dictator B.

      Is it though? I’d love to know who the other options are in a First Past the Post democracy.

      Only technically. You absolutely have the option of wasting a vote on someone who has basically 0 chance of winning. But most people are going to vote for one of the two options that can win.

      And given that it’s the left quibbling over who to vote for while the right lines up behind their Führer, you can see why people rag on 3rd party voters. It’s the same way we got trump the first time, because people (like me) wouldn’t hold their nose and vote against the orange turd.

      I don’t like a lot of the shit Biden is doing, but I sure as fuck don’t want project 2025 or my LGBTQ+ family losing their basic rights.
