        The partial imperfect one that a big chunk of Americans vote in between last week and November.

            There are sometimes local races with only one candidate, but most races have more than one. Doesn’t mean that they’re all decent choices. But people can and do vote as they choose.

              Great, I was worried I had to vote for Genocide Joe Biden, but instead I’ll vote for someone I want to vote for.

                And the consequences of a lot people doing that is that we will end up with Trump ending democracy and leaving us with a fascist state and no more meaningful elections

                  That’s what you’ve said for every election of my life, and I’m not young. It’s starting to wear thin, especially now that you’re trying to do it for someone who literally already was president. If what you say is true, then we already became a fascist state with no meaningful elections in 2016, so I won’t bother to vote at all.

                    Had the mob turned into the Senate chamber instead of chasing a black cop during the Jan. 6 insurrection that Trump incited, we really would have ended up with no democracy.
