      I didn’t vote for him in the primary, though. And I wasn’t about to vote for Trump. I should’ve researched an old candidate’s 50 year history in politics to justify voting against Donald Fucking Trump?

        You should research the position of anyone who is a viable candidate, regardless of how truly awful the opposition is. I’m not saying anyone should have changed their vote to the mildly sentient blob of hamburger grease who rapes children for fun, just that everyone should know what the political positions and history of the potential leaders of their country.

          …why? It’s a two party system. You’re suggesting I should justify voting against Donald Fucking Trump, the child rapist? There was no other option. I was supposed to go through a 50 year political career to find some bad shit? And then what, get mad at some old CSPAN clips and then vote for the kid raper? You’re not being realistic.

          Who did you vote for?

            It’s a monoparty system with the illusion of choice, like Unilever markets several brands of laundry detergent and ice cream. You could have voted third and made a better choice. Unless you were in a swing state, you could have voted De La Cruz or Stein, for example, without supporting the beast.

              Stein? She’s a Russian agent, meant to take votes away from democratic candidates. I thought this was common knowledge. How is third party a better choice when the Republican candidate is literally a fascist? Voting third party supports “the beast” and we had no idea Biden would be such a catastrophe for Gaza, and we had no idea that October 7th was going to happen.

              I chose the most pragmatic option.
