    The greater of two evils won in 2016. If you saw no difference between the Trump and Biden presidency, you’re a privileged person with the luxury to worry about genocide in another country more than what will happen to you.

      I am a privelged person, I don’t live in a country being genocided rn. And apparently so are you.

      To me It doesn’t matter if its happening in another country. I personally feel You are a coward to down play this genocide simply because its not happening in your back yard.

      You got more immediate problems? Ok. Trump is gonna do bad shit? Almost certainly.

      But Biden is not the solution to the problems in america. Dems will not bring about real change. They will only allow for a future republican candidate, with better PR, to take hold.

      They are worthless. And your support of them only amounts to the same flawed choice, and the same outcomes already have.

      Finally answer me this:What if everyone telling me too vote lesser of two evils, voted independent?

        That’s not what I’m saying. All genocide is horrible and should not exist regardless of location. What I am saying is that the genocide will happen regardless of who you vote for, which makes it a foolish thing to base your vote on rather than things that will be different.

        What if everyone telling me to vote lesser of two evils, voted independent?

        Then the independent would still lose, by a very large margin, because 99%+ of the voting population has never communicated with you or even knows you exist.

        As for “What if a majority of voters voted Independent?” Might as well ask “What if people stopped being hateful bigots?” It will never happen, and pretending it will rather than working with what’s within realistic possibility will accomplish even less.

          I’m not the guy who came up with voting for 3rd party. Lmao. Wtf.

          As for “What if a majority of voters voted Independent?” Might as well ask “What if people stopped being hateful bigots?”

          OK. But you are the person who is refusing to vote any other way. People won’t vote 3rd party because they think like YOU.

          You are the problem. In this scenario you would be the hateful bigot who refuse to change…
