"Twenty-seven thousand dead—two-thirds of them women and children," said the senator. "This is unacceptable."

    I love Bernie, but that’s how you hand Trump a win. If you live in a swing state you’re unfortunately stuck voting for the lesser of two evils.

      I understand where you are coming from, and if you decide to do the ‘lesser of two evils approach’, I’m not mad at you. It’s a much better response than voting for the Dems because you believe they aren’t evil.

      I’m torn, because I quite obviously do not want any fascist-leaning-anyone to win, but I’m also horrified at the long term impact of a two-evil-party system. I’ve been paying closer and closer attention every four year cycle and the Manchin-Sinema block was the start of the end for me. The final nail was somewhere between finding out about Pelosi and her finances and the “we have power now, but vote for us next time and we will really do something about women’s bodily autonomy”.

      If I find an independent I agree with I’ll vote for them. If not I’ll write in Bernie. You may end up on the correct side of history as I stand weeping into a burning creator that was once a hopeful country.

      Added context: I’m blue County red state.
