    I thought libs were all about supporting the lesser evil? Or is it only minorities that you demand be utterly pure?

      Nah, libs are more about calling out evil, greater and lesser both. And minorities aren’t inherently pure, they get called out too if they do heinous shit. It’s not so much about taking a side, more about trying to be a decent human being and encouraging others to do the same. It’s just that the American electoral system requires people to choose between a turd burger or a salad with a shit on the side.

        We can choose a salad (or burger) without shit… but not next week at this point. Gotta pick one - or let others pick one for you.

        Afterwards, please find your local precinct and be part of the discussion. “Both parties” have been captured by money/capital, but only because we let them. At least on the dem side, the rules we have allow us to outnumber the money, but only if we show up on November 4th.

        Edit: Just to be clear - Show up on Nov 3 and vote for your preferred entree of the options available, but show up after too.

          Where did I say that? I absolutely have a problem with it, this is why the American political system is so fucked. Shouldn’t have to choose between shit and shittier. The fuck happened to ‘the will of the people’?

            I assumed that “It’s just that the American electoral system requires people to choose between a turd burger or a salad with a shit on the side” meant that you should choose one or the other, which to me means accepting the lesser evil.
