just because Trump is a terrible option should not mean we should get stuck with Harris who does not want progress either and who is center right
not even sure raising the minimum wage was talked about nor was healthcare
the only question now is how much worse the Democrats and Republicans will make things this election
You only have 2 choices. You just said trump was worse.
if you want to believe the lies and propaganda the two parties put out then yes we only have two options

I get you, and we really need a ranked voting system. But until then if you don’t vote for Harris, you get Trump. It’s a bitter pill to swallow, I know.
And you can blame Democrats and Republicans for not championing ranked choice.
True. Why would they give up their monopoly? It’s a crappy situation, but if Trump wins—you’ll never get to vote again.
Let me get this straight: I have no choice but to vote for Harris so that I can vote. It seems the right to vote has already been stripped.
If you want to vote in the future, you better hope Trump doesn’t win. I know the concept of limited choices is disappointing, but that’s reality—and while I would love to see additional political parties have an equal chance, that’s not the system we live in.
Two viable* options. You can blame First Past the Post for that.
Are you suggesting a third party will get anywhere near the votes than either trump or Harris?
yes that is exactly what am suggesting
but unfortunately, too many citizens are drowning in the red and blue punch bowls to vote third party
Ok well that suggestion is silly, there's zero chance of it happening in November.
You clearly don't understand how the US election system works.
Center right?
Geez. Every time you people speak she gets shifted further and further right 😂
If your strategy is to rely on lying to people, it's not a great one
Just be honest, there are a good of minority left wing candidates out there. There is no need to lie
then what do you call a candidate that is propolice, prowar, against minimum wage/ workers' rights, against immigration, hires republicans, against universal healthcare
how much like Republican do you have to act to be called a Republican
