    Hopefully some of the 87 million eligible voters who stayed at home in the 2024 elections might have realised that voting does matter, and does change their life.

    I don’t think Trump will be any better in his 3rd term. So pretty low really.

    The Untied States? In the next presidential election, this fall, it’s predicted to be Andon Knot (Republican Order–Popular Emancipation) vs Trip Lacey (Community-Oriented Rally–Democrats), right? These candidates are both said to play fast and loose, but I don’t think it’ll be very different from the incumbent.

    I’m not compromising my standards. I’ll vote for the least shitty candidate that can win, but I will still criticize them. People need to stop accepting their candidate is acceptable just because they voted for them or that criticizing their candidate means they voted for the wrong candidate. It’s a 2 party system. Neither party is going to do everything the way you’d like it to. You can criticize them while voting for them, while asking others to vote for them.

    That being said, a rock meets by standards better than my last options.

      There should be more pressure to move away from the 2 party system creating these problems. We need to demand it from our leaders because they seem not to care about it either.
