    Unfortunately, due to the systems we have in place, anything past the first to amounts to being a conscientious objector. Which generally just means the greater of two evils has a greater chance of succeeding.

    Edited for sanity.

      you’d be right. Except right now, this is Primary Season, not regular election season. the RNC has nothing to do with what is essentially a choice internal to the DNC as to who their best candidate is supposed to be.

      it’s patently disingenuous to say that right now, a vote for any one other than Biden lets somebody whose not even up for DNC candidacy win. according to Biden himself, there are fifty other candidates who’re able to beat trump. So there’s far more than 2 choices.
