“I think this is the worst election in my lifetime,” said George Argodale, a Nikki Haley supporter from Gainesville, Virginia. “It’s just terrible that we don’t have better candidates.”

“That’s a sad state of affairs for our country that those are the two best candidates that we can come up with,” agreed Peggy Hudson, a primary voter in Charleston, South Carolina.

Judith Smith, from Moncks Corner, South Carolina, said of Biden and Trump: “That’s like choosing between a hedgehog and a porcupine.”

As the primary season sputters to an expected ending, following Haley’s withdrawal from the Republican primary on Wednesday, voters’ frustration with their general election options is palpable.

    One former president killed 1,000,000 of his own people by sitting on his ass and downplaying the risk of infection while hundreds of thousands died under his watch in 2020. By the time he left office, it was far too late to contain the damage; we were well on our way to one million being dead.

    He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone. This isn’t an election to sit out over a single issue; this election could determine whether Russia attacks Europe and China attacks Taiwan if Ukraine falls and the former president is re-elected.
