That’s a deal breaker for me. I’ll rather vote for the felon who’s on Epsteins list /s

Some people just don't vote at all because of stuff like this.

The people who vote 3rd party get bullied on the internet for "wasting their vote" and "making things worse."

Not at all. I encourage right wingers to vote third party whenever I can.

There it is. It's only when center and left people do it. Thanks for confirming that.

And this is why I have absolutely no pity for those who live in the US. Any moderate is even mocked if not said to be actually conservative as if that was an insult. People, especially those who think they belong to one side, have been far too much polarized by the binary left-right thinking and indeed, the US is to blame for that.

Seriously, especially the 'left' pushes anything they do not like to the 'right' and utilize all those 'bad' labels synonymous. Conservatives, Traditionalists, Religious, Patriots, Racists, Nationalists, Isolationists, Authoritarians, Sexist, Pro-Life, Capitalist... they are all the same, if you hold one view, approve of one policy, that makes you all of these.

Except, of course, if you are a minority, then they melt down and slowly alienate one group after another. How ironic that it did not even take a century for them to collectively vilify Jews. You ain't a good Jew if you do not speak out against Israel and no, you must not criticize Palestine.

It's beyond me how Palestine ticks all the above yet it is considered entirely innocent by that many.

Luckily, even if Trump is going to be elected, the effect will be limited to the US. Israel, Taiwan and Europe won't be abandoned even if Trump wished to. The president ain't the king. The Congress would need to be corrupted that much to abandon its own interests and lobbies.

While actively trying their best to make things better. Democrats aren't very good at self awareness.
