      Watching, as an outsider, there’s not. That fact is truly horrifying. The democrats are roughly aligned with the UK conservative party. Shitty but tolerable. The republicans are way off in the sticks, with no comparison.

      By analogy, democrats are like being shot in the gut with a high power paintball gun. The republicans are like being shot with a high caliber revolver. Both involve getting shot, both are unpleasant, but one is still FAR worse than the other.

          Unfortunately if you don’t choose 1 then you will likely end up with even more.

          The issue is that trying not to play, just plays into the hands of the extremists.

          I watched something similar play out with Brexit. It was less a shit sandwich and more a firehouse of diarrhea shoved down our collective throat. It’s been less than pleasant. The people who were disinterested and didn’t vote made a huge difference. They didn’t want a shit sandwich, so got the fire hose with the rest of us.

            I never once suggested not playing. I’m not sure why everyone seems to think that.

            Literally all I said is they’re both shitty options but one is clearly more shitty.

          So the plan is to sit and pout and get forced fed an extra big heaping spoonful through inaction?

          I don’t kink shame but maybe don’t blend your coprophagia with your politics.
