    As an outsider it’s really annoying when someone just doesn’t understand the reality they find themselves in.

    A third party isn’t in the cards, it never is, but it especially isn’t right now. The only way to get a third party elected is to change your voting system, but that’s a process that takes years, decades even. It’s really not as easy as wasting a vote with a third party, it takes a lot more effort. And the only way to start or continue that process right now is to vote Biden because if Trump wins you might not even get another election to vote in.

    And Trump has a good chance of winning because the republicans aren’t having such discussions. They know what to do, and come election day they’ll all march in and do their job, like they do every time. Remember that he only won last time because people like you felt icky about voting for Clinton.

    If you allow me a moment of catharsis, I’ll just add that if you Americans once again subject the world to more Trump insanity, I really hope you get to feel the worst of it.

      he won because people voted for him. I voted against him, and I’m going to again. and I’m voting against biden just like the last time. you’re characterization is patronizing and dismissive of real concerns.

      really hope you get to feel the worst of it.

      why the fuck would you wish that on anyone?
