I promise that if I ever get elected Tyrant, I will pay for my own domain name out of pocket.

I have read all the sentences, and I agree with the first one.

What I felt needed a little commentary was the rest. See, minds more impressionable than yours and mine may come to the conclusion that voting is pointless if you can only vote for the lesser evil.

I don't know whether she is better than you think she is - my point was that it doesn't matter, and that speculating, postulating and pontificating about how she may not be as good as we want her to be just turns people off of voting. Which would be bad.

That was my whole point.

Nice. Those never fail to cheer me up :)

I won't argue over whether she does have my best interests at heart. It. Does. Not. Matter.

I don't want to marry her, I want her to keep Trump out of office - and right now, she is the only one who can.

Fun fact: Most exterminators don't have your best interest in mind - they just want to make a living. Yet, they do keep the bedbugs away, so it's all good.

Agreed.

Would it be nicer if we lived in a multi party system? Probably. Do we? No. Voting as though we are is not useful (maybe unless you live in a state that you are 100% certain can not be flipped).

If you hate one candidate even slightly less than the other, for example because the former has not yet stated that they want to punish colleges that allow pro Palestine demonstrations, vote for that first one.

Isn't that precisely what the article said?

This is hardly the quiet part: He signed the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact in ‘23. Honestly, is he really wrong?

ETA: Of course, satire. I can't even tell anymore.

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks.

This far, Vance is only a dipshit millionaire (estimated ~10M).
