    The lack of nuance here has been a little shocking. I had hope that was just a Reddit thing, but it may just be an Internet thing. I have no idea.

    I’m not ever going to vote for Trump, because he’s terrible. And I’m not ever going to vote for Biden, because he may be less terrible, but he’s still terrible.

    I may one day vote Dem or Rep again, if either of those parties ever pulls their heads from their asses and produces a quality candidate.

    Until then, I’m voting third party. If you can’t produce quality, I’ll find it elsewhere.

      You’re absolutely right that there’s a lot of nuance here. People living in red, blue, and purple states each have a different calculus involved, and it’s not simple. If it were, the polls would be much more in favor of Biden, because even among republicans, fewer and fewer people support trump.

      If Biden cut military ties with Israel or did something to stop or hinder them from continuing to commit genocide, I would probably vote for him. I don’t really like him, even with that taken out, but I would feel like my vote there would reinforce something I want to reinforce in democrats. As it is, I still don’t know.
