      Brain worms it is.

      I’m sure your dislike of Biden will make up for Trump declaring himself dictator for life.

          Having concerns is fine, but in a 2 party system, not voting for the lesser evil is same as voting for the greater evil.

          Trump is even worse for the Palestinians and Ukraine so this is a red herring.

                  I don’t need evidence to be right, because I actually paid attention in my government classes and understand how a two party system works.

                  There are two choices in this election: Biden and Trump. Voting for anyone other than Biden, or not voting at all, is no different from voting for Trump.

              When people say that, they don’t mean it literally, but functionally it’s correct:

              3p   D   R D-R
               0  92  91   1
               2  90  91  -1
              

              A vote for 3rd party is one less potential vote for D, which is functionally equivalent to one more vote for R.

      You seem more reasonable then a lot of the other mouth breathers on lemmy. What policy decisions do you look for in a presidential candidate besides being anti genocide? I have yet to hear anyone from that camp speak on any other positions they care about, and it’s rather worrying.

        Universal healthcare, college for all, raise the federal wage to a livable wage, guaranteed housing, massive increase in public transportation, 4-day work week with same pay, tax the rich at a 50% or greater tax rate, ban corporations from owning housing. These are just a start.
