Which you can add on to the list of reasons why two party systems are bullshit.
I vote for people and not against people, though. Corrupt politicians are not politicians I want to vote for.
Would you want to vote for a corrupt politician, or a corrupt and fascist politician? Yep, that’s your choice in the land of the free.
This is how you get voter disenfranchisement. Voter shaming isn’t a good way to get out the vote en masse; inspiring voters is how you do it.
FDR got elected president 4 times consecutively, with some of the biggest numbers in US history. Republicans had to make term limits to make sure that doesn’t happen again because he was so popular.
On the other hand, we got a fascist as president for 4 years because Hillary didn’t inspire people (and the DNC rigged the primary against Bernie).
I’m not voter shaming, I’m just stating the facts. Yes Biden is a shitty choice (imo), but still, I will for vote for his shitty ass anyways. Better than a fascist any day. I’m criticizing the 2-party system, not the voters.
Hence “lesser of two evils”.
For every voter who begrudgingly votes, there are 4-5 who stay home.
