    Love shit like this because you all lack the same fundamental goddamn knowledge.

    It’s up to the states who goes on the ballot. There are only three political parties in the United States with enough support to get on all 51 (50 States + DC) ballots. Those are the Democrats, the Republicans, and the Libertarians. The Libertarians are just as fascist as the Republicains, but they don’t have the guise of Christianity to cover it up, so they get pretty few votes. Beyond those three, It is entirely dependent on the state who you get to vote for. I, for example, get four choices in my state. The big two, the libertarians, and the Legalize Marijuana Now parry. The latter is a small party who’s soul goal is getting marijuana legalized. Wanna vote for the Green party? Tough shit. I suppose write ins are an option, but there’s roughly 200,000,000 people who vote, so good luck convincing even half of them to write your name down without a party supporting you.

    In other words, “Lesser of two evils” isn’t a mindset. For a lot of us, it’s literally the only choice.

      You’re the reason the problem exists, you fucking idiot.

        Good job not reading the post lmao

        Like I am literally telling you there are only three options on the ballot and two of them are significantly worse than the third.
