That might be the case, but it might also demoralize and depoliticize people: we had our best chance with Trump, and even that didn't work, so clearly nothing is ever going to change. Next time a candidate like Trump comes along, they'll say: well, Trump said the exact same thing and didn't deliver (at least on these points).
Until the universe respawns The Forbidden One.
Soap box, ballot box, jury box, bullet box. Which option remains.
I can't speak for everyone, but I think I'd still press the button for another Trump-like candidate.
It's still worth the chance if nothing else. But I think I'm done voting for the lesser of two evils. This shit is a joke. I'll still take the chance on someone I like, even if they disappoint, but if there isn't a massive difference between the main-party candidates, I can't be bothered to care anymore.
You're starting to sound like me. Welcome to the club.
Still not going to vote for a socialist, though.
But, yeah, if there's no (seemingly) standout candidate that's either unusually good or bad, I'll probably just go third party.
I thought the Republicans were somewhat turning into an actually decent party (some members, not all, obviously...but I thought they were trending in the right direction), but I'm no longer as convinced. I'm never voting Dem...unless it's a populist moderate (non-leftist), but if the Republicans don't put up someone significantly better, I'm not voting for them either.
I should change my party affiliation. I know they track that shit, so it's good for sending a message.
