#VoteBlue #VoteBiden

@stux Really? Wow, I never would have thought you could support someone like Biden, yikes.

I honestly would have expected you to lean towards a candidate more in line with european ethics than someone like biden...

@freemo @stux
Current choices are only 2, so its about better rather then the best

@mur2501 @freemo Exactly, Trump is like.. uh.. a fucking fuck face. Sorry, I only have hate for the guy

@stux

Not sure what trump has to do with anything either.. there are more than 2 candidates on the ballot for president, there are 4, more in some states....

@mur2501

@freemo @mur2501 Alright, but from our (euro) perspective there are only 2 guys who can be the next President correct?

@stux

No, that's not correct. Any of the candidates on the ballot can be the next president. If you get enough votes you become president, and all 4 are eligible to vote for them, so all 4 are eligible for president.

@mur2501

@freemo @mur2501 But why does it looks like it’s a ‘battle’ between red/blue aka Trump/Biden?

Isn’t it also very important on what ‘side’ you vote? In this case literally red or blue?

@stux

It probably looks that way because your watching paid, commercial, services (most of the news) to tell you a story? what it "looks like" is going to reflect whatever the commercial interests are of those organizations. The goal of news organizations (and this includes Dutch news) is not to tell accurate impartial news, its to make money. You make more money off some narratives than you do off others.

@mur2501

@freemo
While ofcourse news media is all for their own profit but absolutely no news beyond the 2 that's kinda weird.
@stux

@mur2501

Its weird, but not unusual really. Americans are weird like that, we are extremist when it comes to politics so variety of opinion isnt something you'd see get much noise.

With that said, the other candidates do wind up in the news.. plenty to find on them if yo usearch the news section of google.
