Hey, welcome to a FPTP system where two candidates have near-majority support from the electorate! Sorry that you think that welcoming fascism and genociding minorities is worth you feeling smug about yourself when you fill out your ballot!
If I give my toddler a choice between eating broccoli or liver, he'll eat the broccoli but he sure as fuck won't be endorsing it
Your toddler isn't one out of many voters. If your toddler understood that advocacy for broccoli was the difference between him having to eat broccoli and him having to eat liver, I'm quite sure that his advocacy would be quite vociferous.
Your toddler is not a citizen with a share of the decision-making responsibility, and it's concerning that you choose to reduce your agency in this example to such an infantile state.
I reduced it to an infantile example because that is what I think your whining about not endorsing Biden sounds like. It was very intentional
Uh-huh.
Did you just rationalize your political position using the reasoning of a toddler?
Because it sure looks like you did.
It feels like a good comparison to the amount of power we have in our government.
