    If I think that: 1) Biden is awful but he ain't as awful as Trump; and ) neither major party is deserving of my vote ... does that make me a BothSidesEr?

    About as well as pretty much anybody. Badly.

    I'm with Marc Elias in this instance. I do believe Trump is a threat to democracy. A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump. A vote for RFK Jr. is a vote for Trump. A vote for No Labels is a vote for Trump. A no vote is a vote for Trump. Save the symbolic votes for when less is on the line, please.

    Marc Elias is a pretty smart guy. Wins a lot of election lawsuits.

    I live in Texas. If I lived somewhere else, I might feel and vote differently.

    Can you spot the Fox News headline? I bet you can.

    I think they’re both awful, but in wildly different ways.

    Joe Biden is an uninspiring goof ball. Donald Trump would burn America down if he thought he could profit of it.


    Cake Icing is awful. Ricen is awful.

    Just because I can describe both as “awful” doesn’t mean I should actually consider choosing the Ricen.

    Right. Ricen is awful, but ricin tastes good with a lemon twist.

    P.S. I don't really know what the fuck ricin is.

    How much infrastructure money did he bring your state?

    This isn't about you ... not criticizing you just reacting to those 2 words ... but this is what's fucking wrong right now: Biden has done some big things and even those who vote for him are doing so begrudgingly and/or calling him an uninspiring goofball.

    Well, since you asked …

    Ricin is very toxic if inhaled, injected, or ingested. It can also be toxic if dust contacts the eyes or if it is absorbed through damaged skin. It acts as a toxin by inhibiting protein synthesis.[28][29] It prevents cells from assembling various amino acids into proteins according to the messages it receives from messenger RNA in a process conducted by the cell's ribosome (the protein-making machinery) – that is, the most basic level of cell metabolism, essential to all living cells and thus to life itself.​
