As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn't designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they're pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.

I'm legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.

biden's doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people's existence emilie-pain

their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn't complete dogshit

    We must keep voting for the Democratic candidate until there isn't a potentially worse candidate running (just ONE MORE ELECTION). We can only oppose the Democratic leadership when they're not at all threatened, otherwise we would be making space for Republicans to take power. We'll make progress soon I promise this tactic will work.

    In the first place these people are saying you are only allowed to vote for a single person anyways, so it's not like we have to wait for Trump. And what's with this rhetoric? I've heard from real people that another Trump term would cause "the end of America as we know it" (if only). Do these people not realize that Trump was president for four years and did nothing markedly different from any other president except say obscene things? If we let Trump back in he'll commit genocide but he'll say mean things while doing it!

      I can't fathom what's going on in liberal minds when they think another Trump term would radically alter America. He ended up being a very standard Republican president. He wasn't even competent enough to be as evil as George W. Bush, a guy who did vastly more harm to the world. They think Trump will declare himself president for life and do a complicated power move to suspend elections and then randomly fire a nuclear ICBM.

      Yeah it's true Trump disputed the last election and was involved in a coup attempt that did nothing. But he sheepishly bowed out and did nothing afterwards. In fact, the Biden admin has simply kept much of Trump's policy in place. Nothing changes except the president now owes me $2000

        "I never thought I'd be missing Bush but Trump is way worse" is like a cheat code for the maximally efficient way to tell people "I'm a baby brained dipshit who can be disregarded without a second thought"
