    Yep. And same the other way, too. Elections *are* binary choices. But at a certain point, if you want people to back your ticket, you can't be surprised that telling people to swallow poison pills turns them away.https://twitter.com/neontaster/status/1293578581348618241 …

    Noam "MF Blum" @neontaster
    Biden doesn't have to be as bad or worse than Trump for you to not want to support either. He's just gotta be bad in ways that you personally don't want to give a hand to. "Suck it up" is usually concern trolling by people who won't need to compromise on any of *their* beliefs.

        I swallowed poison pills for Bush (the second time), Romney and McCain and they all sucked. I swallowed another one with Trump. Same old same old for someone who believes the GOP platform and knows the GOP doesn't. Trump has surprised me by being more conservative.

        I have done this too many times to count as well. I have determined it will always be this way with our two party system. This year I'm going rougue, I'm going with @ye Unless @realDonaldTrump does something huge before the election.

        Oh, I didn't realize we could reverse the 160,000 COVID deaths. I guess I should give Trump another chance then.

        The degree to which the binary choice has so prominently evolved is perhaps *the* problem that needs addressed. Voters are constantly picking the lesser of two evils in ways that have been warned against since the nation's only five star general stepped down.

        I would 100% have voted for Ted Cruz in 2016 if the Dems nominated someone like Kanye West (despite his Trump support he's said he would run w/ "Bernie Sanders principles"). I guess I just care more about the country as a whole than a couple of pet issues like taxes or abortion.
