While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.

I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.

    The two party system always comes down to who runs the least shittiest candidate.

    For me. That’s not always who wins.

      And as soon as the shittiest one wins, the bar for “least shittiest” drops a whole lot lower - it’s a race to the bottom.

      Of course, none of this affects policy - the class who benefits from the status quo will get what they want irregardless of who is in the Waffle House.
