Dunno, looks like there's more than 2 candidates to me
No there really isn't, not the way US politics work.
Strange. So you're only allowed to vote for one candidate or Democracy ends?
when the other candidate incites an attempted insurrection, engaged in election interference multiple times, and has proven multiple times that his goal is to strip his enemies of their rights, and is one of the loudest voices behind republican politicians and their bills which have already been passed in many states that take away basic human rights from the population, yeah pretty much
you gotta remember that he's effectively trying to be another reagan, and reagan effectively disentigrated all of the progress america made, sent worker's rights back a century, and removed what little semblance of choice we had in politics
Create a pledge to vote for a leftist candidate. If it surpasses ~85 million signatures, everyone who signed it will vote for the leftist candidate. Otherwise, they will all vote for Biden, since a minimum of 85 million votes are required to guarantee an election win.
I’d sign that shit, and I bet just about every leftist around here would, too. There’s literally no downside.
It is immensely difficult to get 85 people to agree to do something—never mind 85 million—but still not impossible. You almost definitely won’t be able to get 85 million signatures, but you’re more than welcome to try. If you don’t succeed, however, I encourage you to consider the realm of possibility when filling out your ballot. Voting for a third-party candidate and voting for Mickey Mouse—or a dead guy, or Vermin Supreme, or yourself—are equally irrelevant if the third-party candidate does not stand a chance of winning.
