I'm trying to understand why you posted that as a response to my comment. Maybe you could carefully reread what I wrote, consider it for a minute, and then see if your own comment makes any sense in context.

It's relevant bc the entire system, regardless of who gets chosen, is corrupt.

Are you also too stupid to understand my comment? I shouldn't have to explain something so obvious, but the entire point of my comment is that the entire system is wholly corrupt, regardless of who wins.

There is another option. Stop taking part in this soap opera. Refuse to vote.

There are always choices to be made. Not all of them involve voting (which Rat and Human don’t even mention, by the way ;)

If you're implying what I gather you mean, there are plenty of people who have learned from the last time that the agitators are bought and paid for by monied interests and not from regular Americans. If it comes to pass the streets are filled with thugs, I wager plenty of people will be inspecting their rooftops.

Because it's always all about US.

Yes, that's kind of a double entendre.

We could vote for the shorter of two evils. Kamala is only about 5’ 4”… but Trump has a shorter life expectancy

Am I the only one thinking to just vote for the greater of the evils and bring this mess to a rapid boil?

Still, lesser evil is better than greater evil

You must be indelibly corrupt to participate in politics at that level.

Lesser evil choices exist outside politics as well.

I'm afraid jealousy might create some evil even if all choices were good.
