It’s ok to not want either but it’s pretty clear which is worse for the world and it’s the one that is encouraging Russia to attack NATO members who they perceive as not pulling their own weight.
Funnily enough that’s the same one that looked at a picture of the perdon they were getting sued by (who was sitting in the same room) and thought it was their ex-wife.
As long as people become trapped in the choice between which one is worse they will be trapped by the false dichotomy. Neither is good, let’s seek better alternatives.
Seeking better alternatives is absolutely what we should do but a general election isn’t the time to do that. The general election is the time to pick which of the two turds is better.
If we really want change at the national level we have to start locally. If a third party candidate wins the presidential election without support in Congress they will have a disastrous term.
Not particularly, but I can at least recognize that electing a third party practically requires getting rid of the electoral college.
If no one gets a majority of EC votes, the winner is picked by the house of representatives. So any third party president needs to get a majority of the vote in a majority of states to win. No third party candidate has ever come remotely close to that.
Under STAR, score, condorcet or IRV? It’s unlikely but possible. With the EC? It’s essentially impossible.
Or the agenda of individuals sick of the false dichotomy who want neither asshat

In what possible sense is Trump vs. Biden a “false” dichotomy
People who are under the delusion that their favorite third party candidate can actually win believe some weird shit.
Enjoying the view from under the boot eh?
