Don’t you have a point Biden could cross after which you’d see more utility in building up a third party for next time?

You keep acting as if #1 above won't be true at some nebulous point in the future. Why?

What do you think will happen if trump is declared the loser?

The same thing(s) that happened last time, probably. Rightoids will cry false election, lots of lawsuits, etc.

I keep acting like there’s a possibility of getting someone other than Biden or trump because there is.

I made reference earlier to Biden stepping down at the convention. That’s possible, although we’d need another ‘68 to prompt it. I think that’s more likely than trump not getting the nod at the rnc, but I’m sure they’ll be some subset of weirdos there calling for their own guy instead of him.

But let’s assume there’s no chance of getting a different candidate from one of the two parties. Even then, like I said earlier, Biden was past the pale for me years ago. Im not gonna vote for trump unless his platform changes wildly, so in that case im not acting like your assertion isn’t true, im acting like it doesn’t matter.

Because to me it doesn’t.

And I keep asking you where your limit is. Because everyone has one.

So how far is too far for you? When do you look at two distinct bad choices and say “no thank you”?
