    There is no one better to choose because the media and the DNC keep telling us there is no one better to choose and any time a possible person is mentioned everybody just says “They don’t have Biden’s name recognition so they can’t win.”.

      Who? The two main other candidates are insane pseudoscience and conspiracy theorist trash. And also basically right wingers anyways.

        You must be new to the internet.

        There’s nothing people like more than rehashing the 2016 and 2020 elections

      Duverger’s Law and US is still not there yet in the Overton window. I vote progressive to help aid in Overton window shift from something more reasonable and social democracy is arguably the system that makes the most sense.

        A wise strategy since voting is the only way to shift the Overton window.
