    I am not from the USA but if you only have two choices, who would you expect “leftists” to vote for?

      I’m guessing the alternative to “vote blue no matter who” is somewhere between “boycott the vote” and “burn the motherfucker to the ground.”

      The alternative isn’t to vote for someone other than the democrat. It’s to not vote.

      My take to other U.S. voters: please vote blue. It’s fucked, but it’s less fucked than voting for Trump or not voting.

      I keep hoping one day both our major parties will go the way of the Whigs, but for now it’s Democrats, but it really sucks that’s how it is

      Edit: To be clear, we’re not actually going to fix anything by voting

      I feel half of this kind of thing is the right trying to convince people that left canidates aren’t perfect so they should not vote or better yet vote right as a spoiler. yeah. that will show them. its like a pervy guy trying to convince some married woman who is upset with her husband that the perfect way to get him back is by sleeping with him.
