As an Australian, where *voting is compulsory* and we have a preferential ranked choice system, it's scary to see the American system and wonder _how bad Australia would be_ if we had the same electoral process? Remember, we're the origin of Murdoch and he has much more media dominace here. Although an argument could be made that we've adapted to him and it's because he's an introduced pest in America that's allowed him to have such a devastating effect on the American political ecosystem.

When he asked the reason we weren't voting, most of us answered, "We don't like either candidate." He then said to us, "When there is no clear candidate to choose from, vote for the lesser of the two evils." After the election, he asked us how many of us voted. All of the students raised their hands. And that's how you do it! I will admit that during the HRC & DJT election, I didn't think there was a lesser of the two evils. To me, they were opposite sides of the same plug nickel. Thankfully, my state allows write-in candidates. If I couldn't vote for Bernie Sanders, in the general election, I wasn't going to vote at all. That would have been only the 2nd time I didn't vote in an election, state or federal. BTW- In the primary election, all but one county in my state voted for Sanders, & he only lost by 4 votes in the county that voted for HRC.

The purpose of the use of cold pizza as an analogy is to communicate not that it is bad, but that it isn't in its perfect state).

The MIC stopped being what Eisenhower warned about decades ago. Any one of FAANG earns more on its own than all of the top defense co's together. Likewise big pharma. Eisenhower Sagan Zappa etc were right but underestimated how bad it would get.

In my state BLUE votes with the GOP against civil rights issues at the local level, why would I trust them at the national level. The DNC is fine with anti-LGBTIQA+ politics at the local level.

I'm not thrilled with either candidate, but here is what is important to me: climate issues, social security, healthcare for all (or at least becoming affordable), food costs and SNAP benefits, attacking corporate greed. eliminating Citizens United, eliminating gerrymandering, enforcing emolument and ethics laws. So, I'm voting for Biden. I don't see or read of any actions at all from Trump or Republicans to address these issues in any intellectual, scientific, or data-driven way.

Nope. I'm waiting to see who runs in November. Between the 80 yr old and the 84 yr old, neither of these guys might make it to the election. I live life one day at a time, not five months in advance. The issue with independents/no party preference voters isn't whether we vote Biden or Trump, the issue is whether we vote at all. Some people do not sacrifice their principles for expediency.

[@tylerhackner9731]

[@unshakentomato5609]

“Undecided” strikes me as a misnomer. People dislike both candidates, and they feel disrespected and manipulated by both. They don’t trust either party, which is perfectly rational, given that both parties can and do lie to them to get ahead. “Undecided” seems to mean something closer to, “I could be compelled to vote for either candidate if I vote at all, which maybe I won’t because I’m tired and nothing seems to get better anyway.” More like, “unmotivated,” or “unpersuaded.” In other words, I know I would never vote for Trump, but I am unpersuaded that the world will be such a better place if I vote for Biden.

[@stephenluttrell8958]

Sure, but at this point I’m not voting for Biden because I think things will get significantly better, I’m voting for him because letting Trump win would make things significantly worse. We’re still having distructive aftershocks from Trump’s disastrous presidency. It’s like dying with a bullet wound. Sure putting a bandage on it won’t heal it, but at least it’ll stop the bleeding. It goes beyond party lines at this point-beyond Democrat or Republican. Trump is a monster. He cannot have more power.

I talked to a lady in her 70's last year who was angry because the Democrats were going to get rid of Social Security. I told that makes no sense, it is one of the Democratic party's signature achievements and was created by FDR. It is the Republicans who have always and are still trying to get rid of it. She told me that is not what she had been hearing. It is not a media problem, it is the disinformation by right wing media. It is the same 17% of people polled who think President Biden overturned Roe because it happened while he is President.
