    Take some responsibility for how shitty the Democrats are. They’re not entitled to people’s votes they have to earn them. If my options are shit salad and shit sandwich I’m not worried about carbs.

      I said nothing about entitlement, only pointed out the facts. You can both sides it all you want, but the last 10 days has exposed how absolutely ridiculous that position is. Although it’s long since been obvious.

        there are more than two sides, Democrats would do well to realize that instead of making every election about how not Republican they are.

        one of these parties will be gone in the next decade

          There are a multitude of sides within the population. Unfortunately, our voting reinforces the two-party status quo.

          You do realize that if the USA goes to shit, the rest of the world will also go? Not because the USA went to shit, but because the shit-in-chief will be bound and determined to bring said shit to the rest of the world and cram it down y’all’s throats while shaking hands with Putin and Kim? He already talked about withdrawing from NATO and telling Putin he has carte blanche to just roll over Europe, and don’t be surprised if a few lobbyists in the military-industrial complex convince him that taking a second look at colonization of the Global South for their minerals might just be a good idea while he’s at it.

            sounds like the American far-right is united behind their preferred candidate, I wonder why Democrats aren’t trying similarly to court the left with a good candidate?

            aren’t you tired of bouncing between right and far right?

              Of course I am. But given the choice between creeping fascism and immediate fascism, which realistically is the only choice this election, I’ll choose the one that still has options, however few, for at least a few more years, if only so other people have a chance to get out while they can or make preparations.
