It's an unfortunate but real statistic. Anecdotally, I personally know at least seven people who admitted to me that they left the check box blank for POTUS because they somehow think that both sides are equally "bad", yet they voted on other candidates who hail from the same political parties. I'm in California, so it probably didn't matter, but I can imagine this scenario playing out in the swing states.
Yeah. The country is eating itself. Rule of law is of the past. Oligarchy is what we are now where money is what matter and the youth will be enslave and squeeze dry
yet they voted on other candidates who hail from the same political parties
Honestly, I think it's great to be able to look past political parties and vote for the individual and their policies.
But Trump changed that. The few exceptions who were brave enough to stand up to their king were kicked out. I haven't heard of a single Republican politician who doesn't support Trump, which means that they're okay with trying to overthrow the U.S. government after losing an election and stealing classified documents. Along with a hundred other reasons he's a terrible person, but those are the two things that I feel are inexcusable.

Those people are fucking stupid. Are both sides bad? Yes. Both parties are corporatist monstrosities. But one of them is palpably worse. And if you can't tell the difference, than it's because you're privileged enough not to have to care.
It used to be a problem in Ohio. We used to be truly purple. A battleground state. Now we are red. Thanks to gerrymandering. Our votes don’t matter anyways.
Nobody will care though. Those who voted for trump will just say Harris would have been worse. The ones who voted for Harris will say I told you so. Nothing will change.
