    I shall, once again, for the 6th time in my life, hold my nose and vote for the milquetoast candidate the DNC has foisted on us. I wish we had RCV so I could vote for someone good, like Bernie, or heck I’d almost take Vermin Supreme at this point.

      Dude, have you actually read vermin Supremes platform, or rather his actual political philosophy and beliefs?

      I read through some of them once, and had the horrifying realization that the contemporary political figure that I think I agree with most closely is:

      • unelectable
      • best known for wearing a boot on his head

      I couldn’t find where a lot of his actual opinions got discussed a bit more formally, but this random video snippet from 2008 does a decent job capturing it.

      If I had (got? Got. I’d love to need to make the choice) to pick between a democratic socialist or a social anarchist, I think I’d honestly lean towards the social anarchist, all things being equal.
