To be fair, I didn't want Biden the first time either. He just happened to be not Trump. I'll vote Biden again, but I'm not pleased those are my only (real) options. We really need ranked choice voting here in the US....
No one wanted Biden in 2008 either. In 2020 the media kept saying he was the front runner with no evidence to support that.. He was behind in polls and if he didn't win the South Carolina primary he would have dropped out. Everyone would have moved on to Buttigieg or Bernie.
Now we're essentially in the same place we were in in 2016..
"Who are you excited for?"
"Neither of them."
there's candidates running that support ranked choice voting. why not vote for them?
Such is the abject failure of most voting systems in use that if you vote for a candidate who has no chance of winning, you're effectively making it easier for one of the two big candidates to win.
It's the same in the UK and I hate it.
You may as well vote for the ranked ballot itself...
I'd vote for an actual potted plant over trump. At least the potted plant hasn't committed massive fraud, stochastic terrorism, election fraud, attempted coups, been twice impeached, repeatedly bankrupted, and is a fascist to boot.
