Do you think Trump is better? Because that is what you're getting from a policy of holding out for a good enough opponent You're free to be a Trump supporter of course, but if you're not and you're still enabling Trump to win because you don't like the Democrats "enough", your actions aren't aligning with your best interests

The lesser of 2 evils argument will always get you to the point you're in now where you're like "I can't believe you let bad guy win, you should voted slightly less bad guy". If you want to break the cycle, you vote your interests and not fall for this crap. And no, Trump is not the end of the world. It wasn't last time around the US Democrat leaning desperately pretended it was, nor is it now. For people who see through the partisan bullshit, change is usually good and it's always interesting to separate those people who have consistent views no matter who is in power and those who change to fit the new partisan narrative, no matter their past positions. In essence, world and murrica... take a fucking chill pill. The TDS wore off the second time around and bipartisan war machine is red and blue, no matter who.

  I dont agree with your conclusion, but I do agree that lesser of two evils is just a race to the bottom.

  You're either not paying attention or actively a supporter

    1. I am paying far more attention throughout than you and have always been instead of just when it's politically convenient. 2. Oh no! Pray god I'm not an active supporter! Imagine if there was someone with "republican/commie/<insert political blacklist> leanings". The horror! I don't think you guys are getting it. All you can do is accuse people of "being the enemy" and you just lost a democratic election and keep doubling down. How about some reflection? How about internal analysis around consistency of political views instead of pure partisanship?

        Feel free to also call me Russian/terrorist/conspiracy theorist/commie/fascist and whatever other ad hom you're told because you have absolutely no arguments to make.

    If you keep demeaning people who dont vote the way you decided they should vote, not only are you a bad person, you are a bad person who will continue to lose elections.

My best interests are a party that represents my best interests, which the Democrats are not, and the Republicans are even less.

  Enabling trump to win, got it
  - drawkward 2y ago
    No, it was the party who failed to put up a candidate whos is worth of supporting thay enabled Trump to win. I am not required to vote for shit candidates, and if you believe otherwise, then you dont believe in democracy.
    - chikere232 2y ago
      Of course you're not required to. It's just what you would have done if you'd been rational and would have liked trump to not be in charge. Sitting it out and letting Trump win (or directly voting for Trump) was your right. You opted to pick "let Trump win". Congrats, he did.
