There is a 3rd dimension this ignores. When both candidates are bad how do you voice that? How do you tell both parties this is not acceptable? If you hold your nose and vote, how do you stop getting more of the same?
It's a hostage situation, and I understand those who have decided they aren't negotiating with these people anymore.

Excellent example of what both sides do. Twist the facts, misrepresnt the truth, flat out lie, then blame everyone else.
One side started war with iran while other side didn't
One side destroyed relationship with strongest allies for nothing while other side didn't.
One side went to war with people on the streets with ICE and lowered recruitment requirements while other side didn't.
One side gave us Pete Hegseth while otherside didn't.
One side started tariff war for nothing while other side didn't.
Both sides same though I guess?
One side destroyed relationship with strongest allies for nothing while other side didn't.
The US has never had a single ally, maybe except Israel. Only vassals.
If you think this is the first administration to abuse and antagonize countries it usually works with, you have not been paying any attention to what has been happening for the last 250 years.
The US is singlehandedly responsible for the EU still not being more closely united, as it always had and used its de facto veto over anything.
Don't forget gutting USAID and research funding, including children's cancer research, so they can instead pay for the hired thugs in ICE. Legitimately one of the most shameful things the US has ever done in terms of deaths caused, in the short and long term.
One side is circling their wagons around a child fucking pedophile rapist.
The other side isn’t.
Not saying don't vote of course, but boy will establishment dems pretend that this is a mandate for them. If you can, vote for progressives, for DSA, for anyone that actually will stand up to fascism.
Do that in primaries, where only 10% even turnout. Doing it in the general is purposely allowing the Republican to win with possibly less than 50%.
Not like democrat primaries have ever represented the will of the voters the last ten years
What do you mean by this?
The dumbest thing is how we still haven't done anything close to what France and other countries are doing to actually make their voice heard. Won't change my mind. Yes, you should go vote. You should also overthrow the government.
We should start with a national, general strike.
Too late to vote now. Republicans aren't leaving so if Americans want their country back, they need to take action. Spoiler, they won't.
Nobody is saying you cannot demand better from your elected officials.
But if you sit at home you let fascists win.
Uh-oh. You promoted voting. Time for all the dbzer0 and .ml chodes to show up and tell you why you shouldn't do that.
Which, of course, is all the more reason to vote. If you do the opposite of anything anyone from either of those instances say, you are almost assuredly doing the right thing.
If you sit on the fence as the fence burns down, you'll end up in the dirt with everyone else.
Am I also a chode or does my chosen instance absolve me of my crimes of wanting to see the USA crumble?
