    I’m not trying to whataboutism this. I, straight up, as a voting member of the public, don’t have any valid, electable, choices in the upcoming election that don’t require holding my nose. I’m sick of voting for the lesser evil and hoping they don’t screw things up too badly.

      That’s nothing new. It’s always a choice between a giant douche and a turd sandwich, and has been for a long time

        No…this is recent (in US history). I was excited to vote for Obama. Clinton (Bill) was a good candidate. Bush Sr…even though he was a douche, was still moderately presidential. Kerry would have been OK.

        The giant shit show you’re seeing today really just started in the past decade.
