If the lesser evil wins, you get to protest and put pressure on the government to improve things. If the greater evil does, you end up in the prison system if you try that.
A vote is not a love letter, it is a bus ticket.
which one is the lesser evil?
under their leadership prices on everyday items has skyrocketed, pay has stagnated and has lowered compared to start pay during the covid pandemic, there is no universal healthcare, we have less rights today than eight years ago (shocked we still have marriage equality at least for now)
both are Christian and our loss of rights to bodily autonomy over their two presidential terms drives the point home
both candidates supported the takeover of mega corporate tobacco taking over nicotine harm reduction
cannabis regulation in the same form as we currently treat vaped nicotine is supported by both candidates leading to more iffy products and more criminals for the mega corporate prison complexes
Biden's crime bills from his time as a politician are still causing harm in people's lives today so how does picking a prosecutor for his running mate show any change or any difference in these policies or his thinking versus Trump?
so which candidate was it that supports us the citizens? hard to tell the two apart
if there is truth in this statement why not throw support behind a third party? with enough votes even with a low number eventually a third party would have to be recognized the same as the other two with access to the national debate stage
