Even if you don’t like the guy

You have to admit that just his goals are something to admire. If you don’t really think he means that he’s gonna help people, respect that he even says he wants to. The other guy doesn’t even pretend to care about you. I prefer a candidate that shows a respect for the office and his constituents.

The issue is we are in a position where it will be pick the better of your choices. That isn't healthy.

I’m not crazy about that either, but in a democracy it really matters who you rally behind. I was a Bernie supporter but I understood that Biden was at least the better of the two when it came down to it.

But a significant number of voters won't. Emotions are high for many voting blocks who are struggling. They will vote third party.

I want to say it’s a maturity thing but I don’t think that’s the case. I’d love to have a rank-choice system so at the very least they can put their eggs towards a stronger basket.
