    Hmmm. Really seems like the government today is directly the result of not choosing the lesser evil 2 years ago.

        Trump was the result of not choosing the lesser evil each time though. Literally directly elected because half the country is bigots, and the other half couldn’t get their shit together to vote against him.

        Quite literally, he was when the lesser evil was not chosen. That is definitively how he was elected, by not choosing the least worse option out of the two. Every choice can be described as the “lesser of two evils” and while I can’t say that I agreed with Kamala’s or Hillary’s vision of the country 100%, I can confidently say that social norms, like not sending people to extra-national torture prisons, or the execution of Americans in the street by the new SS, sure as hell wouldn’t be happening.

        Frankly, if you want to have better options in your pool of electable presidential candidates, there are a myriad of ways to get that, but standing around with your thumb up your ass listening to astro-turf purity tests and letting orange hitler get elected (TWICE) ain’t one of them.

        It’s time to vote. We’ve got two choices on the ballot, and at this point your option is to uphold the rules of law and vote for the candidate that will hold trump accountable to the constitution and the laws of the US, or allow one of his rubber-stamping ass-kissing boot-licking sycophants to fill that seat.

        If you’ve learned anything at all from 2024, I hope it is to at least vote for “the lesser evil” because your life, and the life of everyone you know fucking rides on that choice. You’ve got the education now, you can make an informed decision, but if you abstain this election cycle, know that you are really voting that you’re fine with either outcome.
