    Just thinking about the Hunter S. Thompson quote, the one about "how many more of these 'vote for the lesser evil just this once' elections" we are gonna have. Long after his death, it appears it has not stopped.

      He'd be telling you to vote for Biden, though.

      How do all these people who have lived through this time and time and time again acknowledge that lesser evilism fails, and still push for engaging in it.

      Vote for who you want, except Trump or JoJo, but damn, don't tell me who to vote for if you know it doesn't matter.

        Yeah the Freak Power run for Aspen sheriff was cool and all, but IIRC he was involved in the RFK campaign

        Maybe we should face the fact that these people overwhelmingly have no idea of how to obtain, wield, or oppose power.

        Those who did weren’t allowed to live.

        "How many more of these stinking, double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to vote FOR something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?"
