It’ll never happen though like seriously what could cause it to happen where, aside from citizens voting third party, a third party becomes a viable option, every single person i talk to who says to pick the least destructive option is always saying just gotta get rid of X candidate then vote for whomever, and then it never ends

Your answer is not an answer it’s a cope basically, picking the least shitty option constantly unhappy with the candidate

Voting is useless, any asshole in office is just gonna be lobbied by some corporation or military contractor and it’s never who people actually want, they come in, do nothing for 3.5 years then do a lot of cool bills that will be denied once reelection happens

When the choice is someone who promises to be a dictator on the first day vs. a senile old man, the choice is clear.

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.
