    In the general election, you don’t vote FOR a candidate. You vote AGAINST whoever you hate most. That’s the two party system. Abstaining is a vote for whoever you don’t like.

    It sucks.

      It sucks.

      It sucks if you don’t like the worst or second worst of the available candidates.

        Ya know… It never dawned on me that someone might actually like one of those guys. That seems so strange to me. I guess it takes all kinds.

          The New York Times has a headline today about “Joe Biden Superfans”. I’ve never met such a creature, but to the NYT, they’re as real as Iraqi WMDs.

          I mean, trumpists certainly seem to love him, and this is Lemmy, where you can reliably find some nitwit who will claim that Biden is the Most Progressive President Since FDR.
