    You should see some of the shit the railroad union guys can get away with. Best job in the world if you can get it.

    Everyone has a topic they hate/like to beat up. For LacesOut it's COVID vaccines. For you it's Biden's broken promises.

    If we put you in a room with Biden, and Laces in different a room with COVID vaccines, who would win the fight first/trash the room the most?

    I get your reasoning, and it has merit. Pretty sure I disagree with four more years of Biden is worse than four more years of Trump, though, because... fascism.

    What I'm saying is that democrats not voting, and anyone else voting for a third party candidate, will be helping put Trump back into power. I know I know, that's the old, tired objection, and it won't help the country get a strong third party going, but it is once again, imo, the ugly reality.

    This country can never get a strong third-party, because people can't handle too many choices, and there is a certain herd mentality when it comes to this sort of thing. Plus, our dual-party majority has been ingrained in generations of voters, and there's really no way to overcome that.

    Truly, it's hard to imagine such a deep systemic change will ever occur. Disagree with "people can't handle too many choices", they seem to be able to handle it in, for example, parliamentary systems. Not that I'm recommending that, but the disadvantages of first past the post, winner take all are clear.

    I dont disagree that 4 more years of Trump will be worse than four more years of Biden.Im voting Green Party to prevent future democrat presidents from governing like Biden.If Biden wins a 2nd term future democrat presidents know they can govern like Biden and still win a 2nd term.Progressives,blacks,hispanics, and climate voters need to let them know that they wont imo.

  10. You're taking the "long view." Meanwhile, Trump, if elected, will destroy democracy and your country in the shorter term. Good luck with that.
