      …yes…? It’s also less bad than the alternative. And you’re not going to be able to persuade me that voting 3rd party in the general is a good idea, because it is most definitely not a good idea if you want to prevent Trump from getting into office.

      I hate the two-party system too. But pretending it doesn’t exist is a great way to get steamrolled by it.

        This wasn’t the point though. It is that both options are bad. Yes, one is objectively less bad, but I’d guess a majority of Americans will not vote for Biden but instead against Trump.

        I will absolutely cast a vote for Biden, but not because I like Biden.

        Refusing to ever act on it is a great way to perpetuate it as well.

        If Trump loses this election, will you decide to start changing your voting habits to bring what you need or will the next rwnj force your hand again?

          I’m actually hoping that the DNC leadership will get thrown out and the progressive wing becomes WAY more powerful.

          For the record, I vote in every election I can. In the primaries, I basically never just stick with the establishment candidate.
