seriously though, in 2020 you need to swallow your fucking pride and vote for the primary democrat even if you dont agree with them. any other vote is only going to increase the chances of another republican taking office. if you didnt learn anything from the last election, then i guess hindsight isnt actually 2020

i dont get how people are like “hmm, the republicans are trying to undermine democracy and stripping away the rights of people as well as spreading hate and violence? well im not gonna vote unless bernie is the democrat primary”

Imagine admitting years in advance that you just can’t field a decent opponent against a cheeto in wig and having the gall to demand others just surrender their vote to you out of pity.

Good God is this really the state of American democrats?

The main problem is we are a stupid 2 party system and we are only ever given two choices that have a chance at it, and there is too good of a chance that you will never actually like either one. So it’s either you choose someone you think is slightly less horrible or you don’t vote and leave it to everyone else. We are kind of trapped as regular citizens and there isn’t much that we can do about it on an individual level and it is frustrating. It also doesn’t help when a party is corrupt and rigs elections so certain candidates get nominations. Doesn’t matter if they are better or not.

I think this is more the state of our entire political system. Just watch the South Park episodes about choosing between a turd sandwich and a giant douche. This thing has been around for a long time.

people have repeatedly referenced that episode but its more like that if the turd sandwich was dousing the school in gasoline and lighting it on fire while the giant douche was just throwing cherry bombs into the toilets. neither are ideal but one is clearly worse than the other
