These are the same idiots who didn’t vote in 2016 and gave Trump the White House. Don’t count on them now either.
If the damage Trump has already done isn’t enough to get them to vote for Biden sincerely screw ‘em.
>“I am praying nightly that there comes somebody else and I think we have a lot of time for that youngster to step up, but I am hoping to God that those aren’t the only two choices come Election Day,” said Sue Daniels, 64, a homemaker in Hudson who said she begrudgingly voted for Trump in 2020 and is now truly undecided.
>Both men are too old, Daniels said — she doesn’t think Biden, in particular, “is making any decisions on his own” — and she believes former first lady Michelle Obama “would be a better idea than Biden any day of the week.”
>“I really am so sick of the two of them,” she said. “And I really wish there was some more — different blood, younger blood. If it comes down to the two of them only to vote for, it would be Trump, but honest to God, we just need better people.”
I blame the advancements of science.
It has made life to easy and comfortable and allowed ignorance and stupidity to flourish.
Both are the same.
One is a buddy of the sex trafficker pedo Epstein. An admitted on tape sexual assaulter. A civically convicted sexual assaulter. A convicted felon. A convicted fraudster. A three time adulterer on each wife. A dead beat who doesn’t pay his bills. A documented racist.
The other is just old and he stutters.
We are screwed.
Well, the republicans have nobody to blame but themselves, they had a primary with many candidates who signaled a lot of the same cruel and backwards opinions and positions (where many of them were probably far more capable for actually achieve those goals), and they decisively rejected all of them.
They want the orange moron, although he failed at making America ‘great’ again, didn’t finish the wall, mishandled covid, tried to overthrow democracy etc etc.
In fairness, the fact that we have to choose between two 80 year olds is insane.
However, choosing normal grandpa over dumb and hateful grandpa (who is also a convicted felon) is an easy choice.
Choose between democracy and ending democracy
I’m stuck between a candidate I vaguely dislike even though his policies kind of help me and a candidate I’m convinced will bring about the destruction of democracy. Hm…which one should I vote for?
Well vote for trump and you will never be asked to choose again.
Yes they are both old and their is a non zero chance one may pass in the next 4 years, but one candidate has a competent and capable VP, the other one tried to have his hanged for doing their job.
Double haters are double idiots
Republican versus Democrat, the platforms are wildly different
Psychopath Conman versus Sane Experienced person, the outcome is wildly different
Double haters, are too dumb or emotionally broken to see the difference
One side’s extremists want you to have universal healthcare, the other side are literal fucking nazis. If you are still a double hater, you’re an idiot and a total waste of space.
People are so fucking short sighted. Maybe people should start asking if they want the chance to vote in a democratic election in 4 more years or not. It’s pretty fucking simple
Well if you vote Biden you’ll get another option in four years. Not so much with trump.
Saw this Sedaris excerpt the other day on FB I think. Sums it up pretty well.
“To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”
To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.”
i hate how much of a spotlight these idiots get every election
Apathy always helps Republicans. The racists, the bigots, and the evangelicals WILL turn out for Trump. If that’s the kind of future you want for this country, by all means don’t vote.
It kills me that this is even a question. Biden has been an objectively good President who has done a lot of average Americans. He isn’t perfect, but he seems like he’s a decent human being and his policies are helping millions of people. Trump is a racist, rapist, traitor. This shouldn’t even be a contest.
I don’t like it either, but tough shit, welcome to reality.
The choice this time around is as binary as it gets. Christofascist dystopia or more of the same.
It’s like a choice between a dogshit smoothie and a cyanide shake where if you refuse the dogshit smoothie, a group of people hold you down and force the cyanide shake down your throat.
The choice is obvious to any grown adult with basic reasoning skills.
“Whaaa. This isn’t exactly what I want and dems won’t magic up my perfect society.”
Welcome to reality, fucko. 99.9% of the time you’re going to be stuck between the less shitty of two awful choices. If you’re willing to have a little temper tantrum and watch everything burn because there’s no perfectly bespoke candidate, then fuck you and I hope you experience the absolute worst of what project 2025 has to offer.
I mean, that’s me. I want someone younger with fresh ideas that is actually going to push a progressive agenda. But that doesn’t mean for one moment that I would consider sitting out the election, because the threat that Trump poses is far worse than 4 more years of luke warm progressive policies.
Two options. Boring and vanilla or violence and retribution. Your pick. I a, a white male in my 50’s. So not much laws will change for me. But I’m still mortified and will drag anyone I know to vote for the former. Christians and hatted go hand in hand down in Ga.
I was a reluctant Biden voter 2020. 2024 I’m more supportive.
I was worried he’d be ineffective due to his age. Instead he’s proven to be very effective. And not least: he’s a leader that knows how to build a strong, professional team that actually do government work. A wonderful change from Trump.
My dad is one.
Trump’s COVID policies caused over a million American deaths and damaged public health to the point that we probably won’t be able to respond to another pandemic for at least 40 years.
…and thats just 1 of 100 terrible things that dude did IN OFFICE.
Meanwhile American Voters: “oh this is such a hard choice!!!1111”.
Amazing how r/politics will have a collective aneurysm over the title of this article when it’s the obvious viewpoint of the average working class person. Nobody likes politicians.
I stopped reading at the woman who said she’d prefer Michelle Obama, but if forced to choose between Biden and Trump, she’d vote for Trump.
In what fucking universe does Trump more align with your political values than Biden if your preference is for MICHELLE OBAMA?!?
This is a family member. “I hate Trump, but because Biden is Democrat, I can’t vote for him. So no voting for President”. Makes me want to pull my hair out
They can hate all they want but the choices are clear : continue forward with our current government structure or hand it over to a bunch of mayhem fueled Project 2025 fascists.
The choice is easy for me. I’d rather have Biden or Kamala instead of Donald.
When choosing between a ham sandwich and a shit sandwich, you pick ham even if you don’t like ham
NOBODY wants to fight this battle again, but we have to fight this battle again, so just shut the fuck up and vote BIDEN for a second term. I’m tired of low-info voters with a list of requirements 2 pages long who won’t vote Biden because they found three or four hairs offset on his head the wrong way. ***JUST FUCKING DO THE DAMN THING AND QUIT BITCHING!!!***
We only end up with these choices because so few show up for the primaries. If voters want better choices, they have to get off their asses and be involved on the front end.
I mean. I dislike Biden and hate Trump, so i will vote Biden. I feel like the media shouldnt be surprised. 2 parties have a monopoly on voting, and they both are relatively based on greed, but Conservatives are way worse
Too f’kn bad. It’s a vote for Biden or a vote for this to be your last vote ever.
OK, so you hate both of them, but remember, if you don’t vote for the lesser of two evils then the greater evil will preside and a decision not to vote is cowardly and unprincipled.
I work in an area that 4 years ago, I saw a ton of trump 2020 hats. Now I actually see biden hats from those same people. It gives me a little hope, but I am still going to get all my recently turned 18 year old workers to vote blue all the way.
I’m a hater, but I understand that if I go with Biden I’ll get to vote for a different guy in another 4 years. I will not get that opportunity under Trump.
I don’t like my options, it’s like choosing between mild diarrhea and explosive diarrhea. I’m going to take the mild diarrhea, and continue to shit another day.
Dry turkey sandwich versus dog shit sandwich with crushed up glass and cyanide. These people are so smart! I can’t choose!
The focus is always on the president himself. But the election means so much more than that… one party is in favor of democracy while the other is interested in dictatorship.
These are frustrating times.
In my mind it’s a decision of Trump or not Trump, and I’ll pick Not Trump every time.
Your vote matters guys. It’s all funny and games until a turd sandwich wins 500 electoral votes in a landslide.
The whole headline is wrong…. The issue they should be highlighting is that voters are forgetting a cop killing fascist who will start a civil war or make a deal with fascist Christians to make himself king is on the actual f-ing ballot. This isn’t a “I don’t like either of them” situation!
It’s simple. You can vote for a politician you don’t like, or a dictator. By not voting at all, you are voting for one. Only you didn’t cast a vote, you know like in a dictatorship.
Well vote for a sane Supreme Court then.
I really don’t like the “lesser of two evils” philosophy but in this situation it REALLY does apply. If your choices are a guy who is a mediocre president or a convicted felon then the choice is obvious.
I just want a president who isnt retirement age tbh
I’m not falling for it. It’s a Trump camp spin tactic to get leftists to throw votes away on kennedy or whatever crackpot the greens choose to further push the party down hill…Biden isn’t the lesser of two evils here…he is the only person running, including independents and minor parties who is looking at jobs and the economy 10 years from now and crying about conspiracy theories. People please don’t fall for this….we can all angrily vote against the 2 party system in midterms and 2028, this isn’t the time.
How any female can even consider voting republican with what theyve done to reproductive rights is insane.
