They give you a bag of snakes and demand you reach in and pick one. Both will kill you with a single bite. It really doesn't matter which you pick when they control your choices in the first place. I refuse to vote, it will make no difference if Harris wins or Trump, the loosing party will do everything in their power to defeat everything the winner tries to do for good, unless they can profit from it. It will just be more of the internal civil war over money. Our leaders will get richer, corporations will get tax cuts and the people will PAY!
Normally I would agree, but it seems riskier this time around to have that mindset. Trump and his people want to do some serious damage and I believe that they will put in all the effort they can to do it.
It's actually scary this time round
It’s always been that way, and you never cared. That has been happening for what, 50 years now?
Keep bowing down to your overlords and doing their bidding, that will SURELY create change. Surely.
Didn't say it was the right thing to do. Ever since Carter's loss which cause Democrats to go to the right because they thought it would get them votes, it's really gone downhill.
Picking a turd taco or shit sandwich really doesn't taste good.
This time it feels like a shotgun to the face or a shit sandwich.
