When will be your “this is the last fucking time I’m voting for the ‘lesser of two evils’, then I don’t care after that, let this country burn to the ground”? For me, this is basically it. This is last election I’m going for that " lesser of two evils" bullshit. After that I’m done. It’s just pointless. Let’s hear it.

    That assumes that there are any viable candidates running that we actually like. That’s becoming more and more a pipe dream, haven’t seen one since Obama.

      Obama was in office 7 years ago. “Since Obama” was day before yesterday in political terms.

        And? Ever since he left office it’s been one piece of shit after another. It shouldn’t be too much to ask for a presidential candidate to be something besides “less terrible than the other guy”.

        That person is not a viable candidate, and you’ve basically just helped out the greater of two evils by refusing to oppose him.

          Since you’re talking specifically about the presidential election, I actually am helping my candidate, since if I and others can get 1% of the popular vote for someone, then they can get easier access to ballots, debates, and federal funding next time.

            No, you’re not helping your candidate, your candidate is beyond help. They’re going to lose. Either Biden is going to win, or Trump is going to win, and if you vote for anyone but Biden, you’re complicit in helping Trump.
