    Only the best current reason. When frump is out of the picture for good we can focus on other things

      I wish I believed that. There will always be some new threat. There will always be some dire threat keeping us voting for second worst instead of ever expecting better.

          His pro-genocide cult is fond of saying that there are only two choices when they’re browbeating anyone who is upset with him for any reason.

          But no. He’s still second worst. And his recent adoption of Trump’s immigration policies has narrowed the gap.

            You support a regressive Libertarian candidate over the most progressive candidate since FDR. Got it.

              I do not. I’m voting for Biden. But as Biden’s pro-genocide cult is so delighted to gloat, a vote for any other option is a vote for Trump. Since all other candidates are functionally Trump, Biden is second worst. And he’s moving to the right on immigration to be more like Trump.

              But hey, go ahead and make assumptions based on things you prefer to think instead of what I’ve actually written.

              the most progressive candidate since FDR

              This is horseshit. No one buys it.

              the most progressive candidate since FDR

              by what standard?!

              dude literally voted against gay marriage; gays in the military; permanent student loans; advocated against gays in federal service; racial integration; sexual harassment claims; blocked access to non-american social media platform; and blocked americans from affordable electric vehicles.

              was it the one law that passed decades after it was no longer an issue and, not only did nothing, but gave bigots legal protection for their bigotry?

        Cant say. Nobody can read the future for good or bad. I just prefer to be optimistic rather than not. All i can say is that the current choices are all there is and, as always, the lesser of two evils is what we have to work with
