    I’m not voting for a libertarian, the last thing we need right now is deregulation. I’m voting for Biden because unless most of the country knows about a candidate, they’re not winning. I’d rather prevent a the second holocaust that trump openly wants to cause than use my vote on some ideallic candidate that I know won’t win. And it sucks, and I hate that I have to do that, but it’s the way things are right now. And short of a revolution or a change to ranked choice voting (which some states have done), I don’t see a better option. And just because I’m voting for him doesn’t mean I “promote” him or agree with everything he does.

      The non violent revolution is voting against these geriatric fools, otherwise grab your gun and take to the streets.

        Like the last 10 years? All that these “don’t vote for either party” movements have done is get republicans in charge who just accelerate damage. We don’t like All Gore or Hilary so we got the infinitely worse option. And the only way it affects the democratic party is by moving them further right, because they see those candidates winning and want to pander to their audience.

        And that second thing does nothing except get me arrested.
