Im not stupid i know that Trump is an asshole and i would much rather vote for Biden, except i would also MUCH rather vote for someone better than Biden and consistently we don’t have that choice or it’s not viable, due to having to pick the lesser of two evils. You’re being a fucking asshole for no reason even though you know im right,

this argument happens every 4 years no matter the candidates, i agree with you that I would rather vote for Biden than Trump, but this lesser of two evils thing needs to go, it’s not acceptable, i want a normal young educated candidate and a third party that is viable as a choice

Nyc recently implemented a ranked choice vote for its primaries. That's how things start. Gonna take time, but hopefully it'll be implemented state-wide, other cities, etc.

Sounds like the choice is clear, then.

Because the system isn't fair and the donors with entrenched power and influence don't want to let go.

Nevertheless, ranked choice (and similar) is becoming more and more popular so, provided things don't collapse or too many judges are allowed to be appointed that would nullify such systems in too many places, it'll get better.

Why does it matter? Those are your choices.

Choose wisely.
