    Both of you are wrong. Its time for your people to overthrow those leeches that govern you, by arms if necessary. Theres no lesser evil

      The best way to reduce the violence we don’t like is by using the violence we do like.

      Really?

      And if there’s no such thing as a lesser evil, then there’s no such thing as a better candidate. You’ll never find a candidate that you agree with on 100% of the issues 100% of the time…if you do, you’re acting sycophantic and should take some time to consider whether you really know the candidate or really know your own views.

      No. It’s by getting involved.

      In a republic like the U.S., the tiniest elections count. Voting for a local mayor, judge, sheriff, state governor, senator or house representative. In fact they may be more important than the president. Also registering to a party and voting in the primaries is an important part of choosing a representative for the party who can potentially become the president.

      As others have pointed out, had people participated, Biden wouldn’t have been picked as the leader had more people participated in the primaries.

      What’s happening right now is a culmination of voter apathy over several decades.

        People who think you can solve the problems at hand by voting on the right person really lack any notion of history
