  • European lefty here with some questions for the anti-both crowd.

    With the FPTP voting system, aren’t you limited to a binary choice between Trump and Biden? I agree that Biden has been shamefully complicit in the Palestinian genocide (among broken campaign promises and rightful health concerns), though I would imagine that “finish the job” Trump would be a more destructive choice. Would it not be marginally better to have Biden in office?

    I don’t hold Biden in the view of someone who is a champion of environmentalism or global peace, but an anti-NATO, anti-climate science, fraudster surely would be more likely to implement harmful changes that are difficult to reverse versus a generic neoliberal?

    Of course, this is through the perspective of your current voting system; ideally you would have third-party options that you could realistically elect that are not fronted by genocide supporters. In a case where you had the option for ranked choice or approval voting, who would your ideal party or candidate be?

    (Not a troll/criticism post - genuinely curious about the spectrum of American politics coming into the election!)
