Politics aren't sports, framing them as such is pretty telling.

I'm considering not voting for Biden but I still intend on voting so I'm still using my...football. Like elph I'm more open to it in the current landscape than I used to be but am still leaning green. It'll depend on what things are like in November. The reactionary anti-third party schtick became played out by 2016 (earlier, really), I'm surprised that you think that this is a point that the bad Democrat team players haven't heard before. You're better off selling Biden than gaslighting.

So do you think Democracy is bull****?
Nah, voting is just an ineffective way to influence federal policy and the curated options we get at the end of the day cheapen how truly Demoratic our representative selection process is.

or do you just dislike your fellow voters and want their decision overturned?
I am pretty not fond of Trump voters, but unfortunately I can't undo their votes without committing a felony so...
