    Why wouldn’t I pick the less shitty option, given only 2 choices?

    I think our system needs an overhaul regardless, but another Trump dumpster fire isn’t gonna get us there.

      There are only two options because voters only want two options, they have comfort in maintaining a status quo that’s allowed them to live the privileged lives that they lead. The status quo is what keeps the marginalized forced to live In the margins of society

        Don’t disagree, I was a fervent Bernie supporter, and I didn’t vote for Hillary. But you still have to acknowledge reality and make sure democracy doesn’t get destroyed by fascists while you’re waiting for your perfect candidate to come along.

          I’m not waiting for a perfect candidate, I’m waiting for voters to pull their heads out of their ass and see THEY are the ones responsible for the suffering of others by defending the status quo and it’s leaders. Once they acknowledge that, better political leaders will emerge.
