      I feel similarly. The both sidesers won’t care though. They’ll just mumble something about genocide so they can pretend there’s no difference in the parties

        Ah yes blame the people that won’t submit to tribalism and want to hold our politicians to a higher standard than “slightly less worse than the other guy” and feel smug in the knowledge that the people you’re defending, who have allowed all this to happen under their watch, have brought us to the point where our votes are completely meaningless. Good job, buddy. You got what you wanted.

          You have two choices. There’s nothing anyone can do about that in the next 48 hours. If you refuse to vote for the “lesser evil” because of your “higher standards,” you end up with the greater evil. And in four years you might not get a choice at all.

          Shove your standards up your ass and vote using logic instead of emotion.

            And that’s precisely why this country is so fucked. Neither party is accountable to the electorate because of people like you with this mentality. Both have contributed to the position we’re in now and have zero reason to actually fix anything because theyre both guaranteed to retain power. You’re just perpetuating the status quo with your faulty ‘logic’ of doing absolutely nothing other than attacking anyone who speaks out against this insanity and rewarding those who perpetuate it.

              And in 3 days we will suddenly stop hearing from CmdrShepard42 about holding politicians accountable.

                  Based on the fact that for some reason it is only once every 4 years, around October, that there appears to be an interest in a 3rd party from Americans…
