  1. I'm voting for the lead problematic candidate. Trump will be much worse not just with Israel vs. Gaza, but also Russia vs. Ukraine, relations with China and N. Korea, women's issues, black and brown issues, and LGBTQIA issues.  Biden has at least been better for the environment, the economy. I've voted for candidates a few times - Clinton 1992 and Obama in 2008; kinda 50-50 on Clinton 96, but definitely pissed off with him by the end of the term. All other votes have been against the other guy. This is reality. Personally, I will try to prevent an even worse POTUS and the administration that will accompany it.

  2.  @lsmit6121  thank you for the amplification. If we want a viable 3rd party, it absolutely has to be built from the ground up. I'm so very weary of the 3rd party run for the highest office in the land. Wanna make change? Go for smaller offices. Getting elected to US Congress (not Senate) is the highest office an upstart can hope to achieve; then that person can decide to work up from there or not. Otherwise, we NEED progressives on the school board, on city and town councils, in other state and local offices.   There needs to be a disciplined long term movement with a party like the Green Party to get people working for people in all levels of government. This is what the GOP started in the 1990s; they had a big, established organization to help, then Glass-Steagall was overturned, pumping more money into their goals. The left could do this, IF they could manage not to eat their own in the process. Those who are elected to office without corporate money are more trusted, and they have this tendency to advocate for their constituents and take on corporate corruption with aplomb. Meanwhile, we vote in favor of the candidate that might be able to be swayed to the left - a little or a lot. That's what we've got right now.
