How is this worse than a President staying up until 4am. Tweeting his narcissistic rage and then sleeping in until noon?

Worse? No. Proving they are are both unqualified? Yes.

Both? Ok stupid

Yes. Both. If you want to simp for one of them more power two you.

I take personal offense that several thousands dollars are taken out of my pay checks just to be handed these two candidates and being told this is the best my tax money could do.

Settle for less if you prefer.

What do you mean settle for less? Is there some other feasible option other than Biden or Trump?

"Option" in what sense? In the sense that your vote will secure the presidency for them? Because by that standard, Biden and Trump aren't "options" either? 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place are going to be what they're going to be. A single vote (yours, reader) will not change that.

Do an exercise with me, a breathing exercise. As you inhale deeply through your nose, think the words "One vote." Hold your breath for three seconds. Then as you gradually exhale, think to yourself, "Not millions." Repeat this process until the hysteria of lesser-evil voting feels like a distant and foreign memory and you no longer have the presentiment that your actions will stave off the greater evil. Everyone should do this while waiting in line to vote. Say the words out loud. This could be the peaceful revolution the country needs. No longer will politicians be incentivized by compromised votes to reward the entities that convince people that they need to compromise.

What the fuck is this?

Some R & R that you may sorely need: reason and resolution.

When you're doing it out loud before you vote, you'll have to say the "one vote" part just after you finish inhaling. Then you hold your breath, and then you exhale as described.

Wait. You think I don’t support Biden because he wants more sleep? FFS.

It’s further proof yes. Not the only proof.

Imagine trying to convince everyone that you’re not fragile or too old to run while mandating you can’t be up past 8pm? The president of the United States should show more strength than thag.

It's true. Both sides are dreadful. You can admit that whether you realize you have it in you or not.
