    Nobody represents the people, but that’s not a new problem nor, in anyway, a new thing in this Trump era

    My biggest fear is that the USA always gets to chose someone who does not represent them at all but at least had the notion that we need a planet to live in

    Trump is a man child and will see the world burn out of petty spite. And us, in the rest of the world, would have to still live with those consequences

    So back to the debate and the choice between Biden and Trump… Sure Biden is a terrible option, like chosing to get cancer… But Trump is like chosing to be gang raped, shot and left for dead in an open sewer and here we are pretending the 2 bad options are somehow the same

      Every American election for /years/ was coke v Pepsi. Not sure when it became coke v battery acid, nor why so many people are like “well I don’t like cola so maybe it will be okay to drink battery acid” and why it is that the Democrats still want to run coke when America has made it abundantly clear we’d like to be offered the chance to drink SOME CLEAN FUCKING WATER JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

      That’s the part you’re missing. People are legitimately asking themselves “If these two people are my only choices and won’t improve my quality of life do I want to keep living?”
