[–] Z745812939054@lemmy.zip 23 points 2 days ago (2 children) In the Coke vs Pepsi system of the US, its hard to see how voting for one over the other would be any better living in america, i just can't comprehend how anyone could think that literally anyone/anything is every bit as terrible as trump. are you really sitting there trying to tell me that harris wouldn't be any better than trump? jesus fucking christ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] lobut@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) From an outside perspective, the "both sides" arguments in the US sounds so fucking stupid and fucking lazy. It's like some worthless pricks watched some South Park episode about a turd and a douche and took it seriously for some fucking reason and used it for their entire political identity. For fucks sake, it's even worse hearing, "yeah Biden did a lot of good, but he didn't advertise it enough". Fuck that shit. That's on you being a fucking stupid uninformed (non?)-voter. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ariselas@piefed.ca 1 point 2 days ago Ok, I'm an outsider looking in. Up here, I've been an NDP member for years, I know that we are not making government any time soon, but we have pushed the Liberal government to implementing universal healthcare, and made steps toward universal dental care and pharmacare. A vote for the 3rd party can be effective. Looking south, it's hard to see how voting for someone will incrementally make your life worse is that much better than the one who will make your live worse today. Up here, we voted in Carney to keep Poliver out (I don't respect him enough to spell his name correctly), but really their policies are so similar that a ton of conservatives joined the Liberal party to give him a majority. Were I in your system, I don't know if I would vote. I wouldn't have voted for Hillery, Biden, or Harris, I sure as hell would never have voted for Trump. But I'm not in your system, so I can't say for sure. permalink fedilink source parent
