A.I. Kamala Harris fakes don't work because Republicans think all Black women look like Kamala Harris. (lemm.ee)

Who is that woman on the right? Are we supposed to recognize her or something?

Look man, it's true, our government gives us very little real choice, and having to make a binary choice for president sucks. But that's what we have, it isn't getting fixed before November, and I really can stress enough how bad one of the choices is. So, given no other realistic choice, I am going to vote to defeat that fascist orange idiot, and even if the person who wins isn't great, it's such a low bar not to be worse than Trump, I can confidently say that I will vote for whoever the DNC nominates, with virtually no exceptions.

This isn't a difficult position to arrive at, and nobody holding this position is actually serious about voting for literally anyone. We're just using hyperbole because it's pretty much impossible for the DNC to nominate anyone worse than Trump.

And I actually like Kamala, fwiw.

Obviously they wouldn't vote for Satan because she's not real, but if Mitt Romney switched parties they'd happily vote for him.

Tell me I'm wrong.

I don't like Mitt and voted against him when he ran.

But I'd still vote for him over Trump if those were my only realistic options. I mean, obviously.

Obviously, and that's the point. You can be forced to vote for anything by the two party system.

Yes, if those were my choices, I would choose Mitt Romney over Trump. Maybe not "happily", but that is immaterial. Was this supposed to be a gotcha?

No, it's an accurate description of what kind of politics you have. I was just pointing out exactly who and what you are. You'll vote for a anti-gay, anti-trans, anti-abortion conservative if it means beating Trump. For you, Trump is pure evil and any lesser evil is acceptable if it means we can stop him.

Think outside the ballot box, I'm begging you.
