    being forced to vote for a capitalist christian in every goddamn election.

    Have you ever been involved in the candidate selection process?

      When was the last time we had non-Capitalist or non-Christian as options on any level of the selection process? In the two-party duopoly we’ve had… Vivek Ramaswami with the American Fascist Republican Party for non-Christian and then the closest we’ve got to non-Capitalist being Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Bernie Sander’s Social Democracy (which Sanders mislabels as Democratic Socialism).

      Oh so I just need to be a lackey for the dems for thirty years and then I can con my way into a being a superdelegate and have some say in who I elect.

      And then when I pick the atheist anarchist I get told they’re unelectable.

        Better and worse are options.

        Not everything is a binary “best or worst” choice.
