    Nope. There was no genocide-free option. The Democratic Party failed catastrophically; it’s on them, not those who abstained from voting for garbage vs garbage.

    Expecting voters to just pick the lesser of two evils forever is how we allow the rich and those with a big platform to slowly shift both parties’ politics in their favour. Some people see this zero-sum game for what it is and refuse to partake (vote). The only way to fix this at this point is by revolting.

      Yeah you cant expect people to vote for the lesser evil 3 times in a row. The democrats won and had 4 years to enact drastic enough changes to not be called “the lesser evil” anymore, but they didnt. Now they have to deal with the consequences of their own inaction.

        So you decided to vote for the greater evil to teach the lesser evil a lesson? That’s a galaxy brain move there.

        Before you decide to say something stupid about voting third party, in the reality we live in if you don’t vote for major party candidate A you’re helping major party candidate B win. It’s not an ideal system, but unfortunately reality is often not ideal.
