Yeah, well, ya probably missed it, but Jesus Christ wasn’t — and hasn’t ever been — on the ballot and your fave rave didn’t get past the Primaries either time. So ya had Bush in the general and that’s all ya had. Does ZERO good to bitch and howl about it now; it’s academic and nothing more.
As for “the lesser of two evils” being any sort of strategy — no, it’s not a strategy; it’s a survival mechanism. Faced with two untenable options, you pick the one that’ll do you the least damage. That’s the bind the Establishment GOP handed us to work with in ‘00 and ‘04, and there weren’t serious Conservatives then equipped to compete with the Establishment pick. Their favorite, McCain, took a dive to the canvas to pitch the fight to Obastard in ‘08, and they responded by propping up the feckless and unconservative “Obama Lite” Romney in ‘12.
So, whaddya gonna do? Unless you can get your guy into the Primary and boost him to victory, you’re always left with the choice to either vote for the lesser of two evils or capitulate to fate and stay home on the couch, which will most often get you the worst of the two evils so THAT doesn’t make sense. No ya go out, hold your nose, grit your teeth, and vote to swerve the country into the Subaru instead of the Mack truck, and you survive to try to do better in another four years.
It’s a battle. It’s a grind. It’s ugly. And unless there’s a third party with real power to overcome, it’s the way the Establishment-dominated two-party system operates to keep the American people repressed.
And now — coffee.
So after nearly 30 years of better of two evils, how’d that work out for America?
Do you have any idea why millions simply stopped voting over the years? Could it had been because they were tired of being conned, lied to, and deceived?
Come on...
You ask, “Whaddya gonna do”?
Unlike you, what I did long ago, was stop supporting evil candidates, candidates which were nothing but corrupt insiders, globalist and open border frauds, who were hoodwinking any sucker they could into voting for them.
Over and over....
No, that's apparently what you did by supporting terrible costly loser leadership with these open border globalist and posers.
