    I’d never vote for Trump, but i’m not really thrilled to vote for Biden either. I think both options suck.

    Since there is no other option we’ll end up with Biden again probably, just depends how much power hate and fear has nowadays.

    I’m in Massachusetts so voting blue doesn’t mean anything in the presidential race. With the divide between conservative and liberal getting worse and worse I wonder how the battleground states will swing this time around.

        You don’t just vote for a president. It’s not presidential election day, it’s voting day. The presidential vote is worthless but the rest isn’t.

        The primaries are where most of the magic happens too.

        Most people ignore state and local positions but those greatly influence real world consequences. Federal law changes at a glacial pace due to all the bullshit. State stuff happens and takes effect usually within a couple of years here without a flip flop every 8 years. So yes, i’ll be voting.

        I’ve voted straight Democrat for 10 years and I hate it. I don’t believe the US is as polarized as its portrayed. But our options are either “Fascist” or “At least we’re not those guys”. I HOPE ranked choice voting becomes a thing in our lifetime.

          I appreciate that you hate it, as much as I appreciate the fact you keep doing it, for all of us. Truly. Here’s to a better tomorrow.

        I assume the guy was referring to the electoral college. Massachusetts votes overwhelmingly blue, so after we collect all the electoral votes, the rest of us are just icing on that cake

      This 3 foot pile of dog shit in my living room is really disgusting and I don’t like it one bit. On the other hand it was kinda disorganized in here before the dog shit and that was kinda sucky too.
