    Nobody likes voting for the lesser of two evils, but we all have to if we want to stop an even further decline into hell. Our system is broken, and we don’t have any way of fixing it immediately, so we have to work with what we can. Trump as president will have immediate and direct consequences for many people, and it will be the fault of people like you that it happened. At this point, not voting for Biden is the same thing as voting for Trump. You may continue virtue signaling after we get through the crisis right in front of us.

      You’re not voting for the lesser of two evils, you are voting for corruption and evil while doing absolutely nothing about it.

        The system is set up in a way that the only viable options are between two evils, unfortunately. Under a FPTP system where the only good options are minority parties that won’t win a single seat in their districts, you’re left with the choice of voting for the lesser evil, or voting for your morals but increasing the risk of the greater evil winning.

        It’s a no-win situation.

          No, you can vote for whoever you want. You all on here are too lazy to gather support for another party.

        You’re voting for no one, giving more of a chance for the greater of two evils and still doing nothing. Where your fucking guillotine?
