“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.
Biden is currently the president. Why are people so fucking surprised that he’s one of the choices? The only surprising thing is that the republicans are running Trump again, after he lost last time.

Because he could have stepped aside for Kamala (or someone else) to run instead. The fact he’s the incumbent doesn’t mean he should be running.
And I say this because Canada is facing the same issue – Trudeau will run again in the next election even tho many Canadians are sick and tired of his wishy-washy leadership and failure to stick to his promises.
Yes, but as in Canada, pretending Biden is just as bad as Trump (or Trudeau just as bad as PP) is really like saying " hey, I got a burn by touching that hot pot… Better off put my hand in the fire, iT’S tHe saME ThiNg"
Trudeau is as bad as PP. That’s the problem … either we have a useless PM or a Trump syncophant. The choice is for shit, simply because JT didn’t step aside for Chrystia Freeland as he essentially promised.
I strongly disagree that Trudeau is “as bad” as PP
I see nothing that tells me that PP would be better on the economy or social safety or quality of life improvement over Trudeau … but with PP we get the shit on LGBT, shit on immigrants, shit on education glaze on top of the turd sunday
Ps: while I also would have liked for Freeland to get a shot… Canadians were shitting on her, just for being a woman in power, since the time she was actually doing good work (like dealing with Trump for new NAFTA)… Heck, they shit on Trudeau for being more welcoming of women in power (because he is fake apparently) and cheer for the cons whose fallen prince MacKey referred to his ex girlfriend as a female dog… in parliament
