Exactly. I follow another forum about Denver, my nearest “big city,” and it’s amusing to me how much people complain about the current state of the city, especially with regard to the homeless situation, visible public drug use, and some crimes no longer being prosecuted by the DA. However, the minute someone suggests to maybe vote for different candidates for City Council, people freak out because they can’t bring themselves to vote for “Republicans.” It’s like, okay, keep voting for the same, and you’ll get more of the same.
And it’s not like Republicans are that amazing, but there aren’t any Republicans in any elected office in Denver. So it’s not like voting for a couple of them and/or voting for folks with different priorities and platforms is going to somehow turn Denver ultra conservative. I think a mix of views is healthy.
This is what I'd reply back to them: If you aren't willing to vote for a Republican, and we've already established that the Democrats in Denver are letting this happen and not doing anything to stop it, then you aren't willing to solve the problem, and, therefore, shouldn't be complaining.
From the article: "During the 2020 election, Carter did not support the Trump administration but was also concerned about how far-left candidates like Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren would govern. He said he voted for Biden thinking he was the "safest choice."
"I donated to Biden ... I supported Kamala Harris from day one ... I even starred in Biden's victory video ‘America the Beautiful,’" Carter said, referring to a post-election video on Biden’s YouTube page.
"I did more than I've ever done in my entire life for any candidate whatsoever, and I'm disgusted," the 39-year-old Brooklynite said.
Biden’s low approval rating has declined in recent weeks. A recent Gallup poll showed Biden at 40% approval, his lowest to date and down from 43% in December.

I'm glad that some people are seeing the light. I can't disagree with anything he said. I particularly agree with his stance of CRT, as he hits the nail right on the head.
Biden is red pilling a lot of voters. He's opening their eyes to the reality which has been hidden behind the facade. The Democrat Party of today, and the news media propping it up are anti-American, and unacceptable.
You should do exactly what you're doing if you don't like the choices you have. And clearly it's people like you that can make a difference in local elections even more so, versus those that just vote on a party line.
Nonsense. Voting for someone who can't win is a loser's game.
Classic line and so true it hurts....!! The left is systematically destroying America and there are still ignorant leftist that continue to support the clown show...
Serves the dems/libs right for voting for such idiots.
Many are coming to realize that most dem politicians really don't believe the drivel they are peddling, but just want to gain political office to maximize their personal wealth.
And keep in mind the libs are just warming up. They are totalitarians who's end game is to create a nation of dependent serfs with the politicians and oligarchs ruling over them like feudal lords.
Liberalism is the greatest threat that American liberty has faced since its inception. We need a Constitutional Convention to restore the power to the people and prevent these crooks from stealing and enslaving the nation. Liberal voters are very gullible and are all too eager to sacrifice their freedom and security for the sake of bizarre "virtue signaling" in trying to achieve a liberal state of grace.

That's because they believe that they are both intellectually and morally superior to everyone else. So they just double down on their own ignorance and stupidity. But they're not fooling anyone except the under achievers who believe that they are being led to the promised land. But all that the Leftist oligarch's and authoritarian's care about is absolute power and control over the entire nation.
It's why the United States of America with their blessings is becoming the world's dumping ground of indigent people. They have to increase the poverty level to the point that the vast majority of people will become dependent on them for their everyday needs.

When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation . . . .You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." - Adrian Rogers, 1931

Like has been pointed out, unless it is someone like Ross Perot, a R or D will win. And Ross only got 20% of the vote.
I rarely like any of them. But pick the one who would do the least damage to the country.
Sometimes, it's not about who you think will win. It's about who SHOULD be elected. Just because you think a candidate will win doesn't mean you should vote for him. Maybe more people should get outside of two party thinking.
Why would any decent person want to run for President and drag their families, friends, and associates through the sewer of our current political culture of character assasination, censure, indictments, fake impeachments, and doxing???
