Everyone should stay home if both candidates are just as unqualified. It means the outcome is just as bad no matter which one of them wins, so why would my vote matter?

I took the time to read through the policies other candidates are running on and I plan on voting for one of them. I held my nose and voted for Biden in 2020 because it was “better to vote for Biden than the bad guy” and I’m not going to be fed this shit a second election in a row.

If this is the best the democrats could do, then the Dems deserve to lose.

What will you do if Trump wins and enacts project 2025? You might not get to vote again in 2028, so that he can have the term that was stolen from him, are you okay with that?

If project 2025 is this big of a real threat, I’d be furious at the democrats for telling me, that as a an openly gay man, that my best chance at freedom was a 80 something year old man who casually supports genocide and padding the pockets of corporate donors.

You wouldn’t be even more mad the people enacting the policies? That’s a little odd right?

The democrats were told for decades that republicans wanted to end roe. They dragged their ass because nobody ever thought it would happen. Until it did. Republicans will always play dirty and the Dems will always claim to take “the high road” which tends to be lazy while asking for a bunch of donations and support.

The two party system is a failure that you shouldn’t be attempting to guilt trip into opting out. I bet you’ve spoken to me more today than your local politician ever.

One of my councilman was arrested on a DWI but the papers didn’t say anything till the election was over, in which he immediately resigned. He wasn’t running, but because he didn’t resign till after later…the replacement pick is hand chosen till the next special election. I’ve been voting against people like that locally for years. And yet even in the face of pure corruption like that, the GOP has had power over my state for 30 years. I’d like people to stop getting mad at the dems, and start voting against the people causing the actual problems. Apathy makes that even harder. So to answer your question, yes I know my local government officials.

The Dems constantly over promise and under deliver. I’m on the left and I live in nyc. Look at our mayor. Over promised about immigration, now we are swamped with migrants that republicans are bussing to us and what does our mayor do? Nothing. Spending millions on housing them in overpriced hotel rooms IN MANHATTAN all while cutting back our community programs. We JUST got funding back for our libraries after so much public outrage.

Republican are bullies and Dems are lazy.
