Weird how that makes it seem like the people trying to make things better are the ones responsible for making things worse. It's almost like the whole system was set up to give us two horrible choices and make us think the lesser evil is actually good. That way we won't try to really fix anything ourselves and just get angry at the people who do for "wasting their votes". No hate to anyone who thinks this way just sharing another perspective.

I'd rather have Biden than Trump. But I'd rather have Dr. Cornell West or Claudia de la Cruz more than either of them by a lot. Hell I'm probably going to vote for one of them. I live in Maryland, a blue state that'll go to Biden anyway. If anybody has a problem with that, I don't care 🤷

The best time to plant the tree you wish to rest under the shade of was several years ago. The next best time is now.

I don’t care.

The rest of us do. So… we’ll keep the ship floating for you.

You to figure more people would be clued in to the fact that fascism is enabled by apathy. But here we are.

Yes, reality can be hard to deal with. Over here in the real world, you’re choosing between Biden and Trump. Pretty much everyone here agrees with you that it’s not ideal. In your ballot there will be several candidates, but they are all either Biden or Trump. Guess who Dr. Cornell West is?

That's what happens when you're trying the wrong things.
