you've missed the entire point. we wouldn't vote for a trump no matter what party. we weigh the good against the the bad and make an informed, imperfect decision.

That's the system we've got. Man, I would love for this election to propel a new third party based on ideal policies into the fray - I REALLY DO - but whining and moaning that you WON'T choose between the two NOW is years too late. And it fucks LGBTQ, women, immigrants, ukraine and so many others over.

Stop being a one-issue dilettante and join the real world.

Because the muslims you're bombing aren't worth as much as the pure white Ukronazis!

no, I got the point perfectly. if the democrat party put a clone of trump as their pick for president, and he was running against the non-clone trump, you would vote for the trump clone, and convince yourself that you were making an informed, measured, tactical, grown-up choice. it’s mass delusion.
