“I think this is the worst election in my lifetime,” said George Argodale, a Nikki Haley supporter from Gainesville, Virginia. “It’s just terrible that we don’t have better candidates.”

“That’s a sad state of affairs for our country that those are the two best candidates that we can come up with,” agreed Peggy Hudson, a primary voter in Charleston, South Carolina.

Judith Smith, from Moncks Corner, South Carolina, said of Biden and Trump: “That’s like choosing between a hedgehog and a porcupine.”

As the primary season sputters to an expected ending, following Haley’s withdrawal from the Republican primary on Wednesday, voters’ frustration with their general election options is palpable.

    By contrast effect, any human being running against Donald Trump is clearly the better choice.

    Pretending that it’s difficult to decide between Biden and Trump is fucking absurd.

      These articles are pro-Trump propaganda. It’s the same bullshit they’ve been saying since Bush v Gore. It’s the far right putting all their weight into pulling the Overton window as far to their side as possible.

      That’s the point. It really isn’t a choice, you must vote Biden or it gets the Trump again. Just forego these next 8 months of bullshit and just get it over with already. So much wasted time and money, and nothing accomplished. Best case scenario it right-of-center Biden for 4 years

        If enough Democrats come out against Biden, he could be pressured to bow out of the race, and we could hold an open convention to choose another candidate. We aren’t stuck with Butcher Biden.

          If that happen Trump wins. Democrats can’t put anyone in on the zero hour against Trump. If the Democrats pulled Biden that would signal to the Republicans and the on the fence independent that the Democrats are weak and that Biden is a horrible president (which he is) but they can’t back out now.

          Biden not going win because he gets more or less Democratic votes. He will win due to the Conservative voters who won’t vote Trump. Like my boss full blown Republican still voted for Biden last time.

              He wanted Nikki and no Democrats can’t pull Biden and win and deep down we all know it. What you think would happen if Biden was to resign right before the election? Republicans would tear them apart. They have come to far with that old man. Trump isn’t much younger and suffering from dementia. So fucked either way.
