    Because they aren’t very bright and they need it to be simple. They’ve found a mindless mantra they can recite and, by golly, they’re going to keep saying it.

      why is everyone mad that I hate both candidates lol.

      I said it pretty clearly, I’m not happy that I have to vote for an incumbent who I didn’t want just because the alternative is objectively worse.

      Also because I like calling people funny names.

        Look, I get it, you’re unhappy. But maybe take a moment to consider that if your post and Russian propaganda are indistinguishable, something has probably gone wrong.

        I’m not calling you Russian propaganda. I’m just saying you’re probably getting downvotes not because you have a “disallowed” opinion. It’s because you’re not showing an awareness for how insanely disproportionate and unhelpful it is to shift a conversation from “let’s not elect a fascist leader” to “Joe Biden sucks.” And the reason why is because the only effect that comment can have is to (1) divert negative attention from Trump and (2) depress enthusiasm for Biden voters who read it.

        I assure you, no one is mad that you hate both sides. They’re “mad” because you oversimplified a ridiculously complicated situation with huge global ramifications, in an attempt to equate both sides because you think holding that position makes you smart and independent…when in reality it is neither smart nor independent.

          I didn’t equate both sides though, I said I hate Biden and Trump is objectively worse.

          That doesn’t mean I’m not going to vote for him or not vote at all.

          My whole point is that I am not looking forward to voting for him knowing that he is much much better than Trump, but that he will not change his policies, which I disapprove of.
