The Republican, Democrat, and libertarian candidates all suck this time around, so we don’t really have any great choices.

Biden: I’ve voted Democrat every other election of my life. However, the party has become so insane that I refuse to vote for Biden. I am particularly worried about Biden’s eagerness to pander to the trans community at the expense of women.

Jorgensen: If Gary Johnson was running on the Libertarian ticket, I’d vote for him. Instead, they’ve got Jorgensen, who can’t even give a coherent interview. I’m not going to throw a vote away on someone who has no chance of winning and doesn’t even campaign well.

Trump: I never, ever thought I’d say this. Trump is an idiot, but I think he’s actually an idiot who will do less damage than Biden. I think I’m going to bite the bullet and vote for him.

if the Dems had chosen literally any candidate other than Biden and maaybee bloomberg, they'd have this election in the bag. Pete, and not because he's gay, is so far central that all the leftist sheep would vote him by default because they always vote blue, no matter who, and a lot of the centrist or even right wing people that are tired of Trump's shit would vote for Pete as well. But then the left had to follow their agenda and throw an older, whiter man than trump on the ballot who is still a millionaire that doesn't care about the middle class.

They chose one of two people possible that might actually lose to trump, when everyone else could've won by a landslide

I don't think Mayor Pete would have been a good choice if the Dems wanted to win. There is still a hidden undercurrent of homophobia in the US, especially among some immigrant groups.

Also, on Bill Maher's show, Mayor Pete named allowing transgender children to pee in the bathroom of their choice as one of his top priorities. It could have been his top priority. Maher rightly called him out for his nonsense, but still, it showed that Mayor Pete is as full of gender ideology cant as the rest of the Democrats.

Biden is a terrible choice. And I feel that he was chosen from up high, not that voters chose him.

With the way the superdelegates work, I don't think any democratic candidates have ever actually been chosen by popular vote unless the people accidentally wanted what was rigged to happen anyway

I tuned out of this election because I've been so depressed about the Democrats pushing the Equality Act and gender ideology laws at every level from the local to the federal.

The Dems need to stop playing identity politics and obsessing over social issues most people don’t care about. They need to find center and focus on jobs, healthcare, and the deficit. They’re turning off the majority of moderates to pander to a loud minority left.
