    I thought libs were all about supporting the lesser evil? Or is it only minorities that you demand be utterly pure?

      Nah, libs are more about calling out evil, greater and lesser both. And minorities aren’t inherently pure, they get called out too if they do heinous shit. It’s not so much about taking a side, more about trying to be a decent human being and encouraging others to do the same. It’s just that the American electoral system requires people to choose between a turd burger or a salad with a shit on the side.

          Where did I say that? I absolutely have a problem with it, this is why the American political system is so fucked. Shouldn’t have to choose between shit and shittier. The fuck happened to ‘the will of the people’?

            I assumed that “It’s just that the American electoral system requires people to choose between a turd burger or a salad with a shit on the side” meant that you should choose one or the other, which to me means accepting the lesser evil.
