It’s not like any candidate was actually good but they did pick the worst one.

Honestly, picking Trump again is a good thing for the rest of us. We know he can lose and because of the last presidential election and his base is just getting smaller.

It's not like any Republican is a good candidate. All of them think abortion is a crime and will appoint shit supreme court justices. So give me the one I know loses because they lost before.

DeSantis is a much worse choice than trump. I would take trump over him any day of the week.

I know nothing of DeSantis outside he's running. Can you or someone share a tl;dr. It's hard for me to imagine someone worse than Trump. But then again, never thought we'd have someone worse than George W...

The short version is that he's gutted public services in Florida and made life worse for nearly everyone there - while engaging in massive culture war bullshit to distract his base

Not to downplay that, it includes laws and discourse such as 'Dont Say Gay' and attacking school curriculums that are incredibly damaging. He's the guy that flew refugees to Martha's Vineyard to 'make a point'

Desantis is basically a competent Trump. They both have terrible ideas but Desantis would be able to pull it off because he already has in ruining Florida.
