So apparently Joe Biden was pro-segregation in the 70's and said he wanted to keep black kids out of white schools because he didnt want his kids to grow up in a "Racial Jungle".
People are really going to support this lunatic?

@freemo Compared to the other lunatic? Yes. Lesser of two evils. Don't get me wrong, I definitely would have preferred someone else, but until the entire country has ranked voting, Biden's current platform is the most acceptable to me, at least.
@Lwasserman The very idea that you have only two choices, a self imposed mass delusion (nothing personal) is the mistake there.
Besides he is hardly the less of two evils, he is just one of two evils, nothing more.
@mewmew Thats not true, in each case where a third-party became a major party the party it replaced disapeared and did not come back into the fold. When they were eventually replaced they were placed by new third-parties.
We dont have any examples, in fact, of a major party loosing its place int he top 2 and then taking over again later.
@mewmew Actually I take that back. you are correct that in 1912 9s the **only** case where a third-party took over as a major party but quickly lost that ranking in following years (in that case being the bull-moose party).. but that is the exception rather than the rule, all other parties, once displacing a major party, the older major party never made a comeback.
@Lwasserman It is very hard for a third party to win, but it isnt due to the voting system.
There is nothign special that differentiates the green party or the libertarian party from the democrats. Nothing. We have had 7 times in US history where the top two parties have shifted (one party becoming a third-party and a third-party becoming a primary party).
So not only is it simply a lie the major parties have sold people on that people buy, but we have direct evidence in our past that it isnt true.
