Could not agree more!
Not happy with your choices of who to vote *for*?
Then decide who you want to vote *against*!
(Hint: Hate-filled narcissistic con-men with semi-functional brains who plan to take the USA back at least 50 years, and end democracy are a good choice for “against”.)

@donm I mean that's pretty much where I am personally where I'm going to vote for my dog because he's more qualified to be president than what either of the major parties is putting forward.
I've been begging either party to put forward someone worth voting for, Republicans declined first, and it looks like Democrats are going to put forward a ridiculous nominee as well.
The only way we can encourage the parties to nominate better people is to refuse to vote for either of their their ridiculous choices.
@donm save our democracy?
Oh no, democracy doesn't need saving. It's perfectly fine. In fact it's working so well, that we're about to elect a moron because the people want a moron.
Yay democracy. The people get the government they want, it's just that they want a stupid government.
But in seriousness, it's not that our two-party system is flawed but rather that our voting system is flawed, and the two-party system is the best way of mitigating the flaws of the voting system.
It's really important to realize this distinction because if we got rid of the two-party system somehow but kept the flawed voting system then we would have all of the problems without the mitigation.
@volkris While a lot of us will admit that our two-party system is flawed, that's where we are.
Not voting, or voting for Fido, is not going to save our democracy — and make no mistake, that is literally what is at stake in this election.
And FWIW, I’m quite happy with Harris, and support her 100%!
