Democracy is when a leader is allowed to facilitate genocide and then threaten his voterbase by saying his opponent is worse and will do the same thing.
Harm reduction candidate is the Blue MAGA.
But... It's demonstrably true that red MAGA will be worse soo... Got an actual alternative before November? No? Ok.
Neither candidate will fundamentally change anything. The US has always been an unsustainable broken oligarchy based on robbing others.
This is just the consequences of such a system, a slow painful decline.
Not arguing against that, just pointing out that like it or not, for now that's the one choice that we have, so concede loss today to fight tomorrow versus surrendering in which tomorrow will never come
You said the same thing in 2020, you'll be saying the same thing in 2028
You said the same thing in 2016, and if Trump wins this election, you'll say the same thing in 2028.
I think i'll fight at the ballot box by not supporting the parties that benefit from the status quo.
