    What you’re failing to acknowledge is in a 2 party system the choices weren’t good vs bad, or bad vs worse but bad vs much worse. Shitty vs fucked up. Given those options and only those options you try to make the best of a bad situation not make it worse.

    People voted for “much worse” and they got it. Things are good and fucked up.

      Things are good and fucked up because people keep picking “bad” or “worse” on their ballots. We may be stuck in a two party system but who says it has to be these two parties?

      You have no idea how frustrating it is to see people like yourself endlessly bitching about how bad things are and how terrible these party’s candidates are but then arguing that we must chose one of these very same candidates or else things might get “bad” as if we don’t have decades and decades of history to look back at and see the result of the very decisions you’re advocating for. As if we can’t see how bad things are now while you argue that we must keep doing the same thing that lead us into this mess if we ever want to get out of this mess. It’s complete nonsense.

      Don’t you see the cycle of bad vs worse you guys have been in like for multiple decades? Sure would Kamala been better (for the US) than Trump, thats a No-Brainer. And i also very much hoped you and we get another four years of the status-quo. But the decline of your system is ongoing and an end is inevitable. Trump accelerates it and that fucking sucks for you guys, so i get the rage. Believe me when i say i spent multiple days seething at how Trump can insult his allies while sucking up to Putin.

      Nontheless it is now rather impossible to even pretend things can go on like this and i hope it will get your and my ass off from the couch.

      Good luck.
