The actual argument is that we can do a lot better, but disingenuous political hacks shriek "THAT MEANS YOU THINK BOTH ARE THE EXACT SAME!!!1" and so we're stuck with voting "not the other guy" for the rest of our lives as the wealth gap keeps widening, everything gets less affordable, the climate is still worsening, and nothing improves in any meaningful capacity.
Wow, it’s almost like their’s a third candidate running on similar policy changes… Cost of living, environment and improving people’s lives in a meaningful capacity.
I don't know about this candidate in general, but there's no chance anyone outside of the democrat-republican approval filter will get anywhere near the presidency. It's like the myth of "anyone can be rich if they put their mind to it and work hard enough". In theory enough votes could get any candidate the presidency, but in practice it's impossible (with even lower odds than becoming individually rich).
Especially with that attitude.
