    Fight for a better system but still vote democrats. Voting for the lesser evil gives you the lesser evil.

      i agree, but at the point a genocidal maniac is the lesser evil, its way past time.

        That has mostly been the case in US politics since the founding. You gotta play the hand you’re dealt though.

        If young adults consistently and reliably voted at all, we wouldn’t be in a position choosing between this and seeing what “Israel should finish the job” means.

          in my country voting is mandatory for everyone over 18, and we mostly suffer through the same problems as you when it comes to politicians. i wish it were as simple as getting more people to vote.
