    He might as well just hand the election to Trump at that point. I mean, I get it, wrong lizard and what not, but in the real world that’s really the only option in the immediate term.

            As opposed to shilling for Trump? Or are you too young to understand the concept of difficult choices and their consequences.

              I assure you I’m not young, and assure you shilling for anyone is the death of a government.

              In even a restrictive democratic Republic, a person worth voting for is worth voting for.

              And in America, a Democrat not worth voting for loses.

              That means a Democrat worth voting for must be produced, or America had outgrown a binary system.

                In even a restrictive democratic Republic, a person worth voting for is worth voting for.

                What is the point of voting for someone who has no reasonable chance of winning vs. just staying home?

                You know what’s worse than shilling for an individual person? Shilling for chaos. Go away.
