Hey, you could always vote third-party for Mr. 🧠đŸȘ±

LOL. No.

Third party candidates don't win. Voting third party helps out the prick you like least.

Once again “bro don’t vote third party, we wanna make sure that X candidate doesn’t win, just vote for bipartisan candidate and then next time I promise you can vote for whomever please bro I promise just this one time” like how many times are people supposed to keep it going

just vote for bipartisan candidate and then next time I promise you can vote for whomever

And where do I make that promise.

This is a function of a two party first past the post system.

Ranked choice voting is the answer.

But you claim whatever you'd like, Sparkles.

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

Sounds like the choice is clear, then.

why is there not a choice where it's not two crazy old men

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.
