    I’m not excited to vote for a corporate Dem again, but if that’s what it takes to keep a twice impeached fascist out of the White House, we’ll then, sign me the fuck up.

    This is Biden’s entire re-election strategy in a nutshell. I’m gonna hold my nose and vote for him too for the exact same reason, but I’m tired of having preselected candidates rolled out in front of me and being forced to vote for the less shitty person.

      I’m sorry to tell you but that is the entire history of the US presidential election system. Before the mid-1800s some states didn’t even let the public vote, the legislature of the state selected their electoral representatives who picked the president.

      “Voting isn’t marriage, it’s public transport. You’re not waiting for “the one” who’s absolutely perfect: you’re getting the bus, and if there isn’t one to your destination, you don’t not travel- you take the one going closest.”
