        I am mocking the idea which has been widely presented by US media and support by this sub, that the choice between a convicted felon, fraudster and rapist with fascist backers and the status quo, (albeit lead by a deteriorating man) was ever difficult.

        I am also mocking the idea that the choice has been made easier by Harris.

        That’s was the article was about if you’ve read it.

        Do you, as a non US citizen like me, not find it interesting - even bemusing - that when faced with the current Republican Party and all that their government would bring, voters were - according the article - finding it difficult to vote for Biden because he was merely too old and infirm ?

          It’s also like, not a choice, just straight up, right? Like the offer between, shit sandwich and shit sandwich with, I dunno, ham, or some other ostensibly good thing, that’s not really a choice, both because on the surface it sucks or whatever, and also because I’m gonna choose the one with ham. If I’m, by default, guaranteed to choose the one with ham every time, then that’s not really a choice, I was predestined to choose that. It’s no wonder that with this constant framing, the focus is always put on these nonexistent undecided voters, because they’re the only ones which can actually be presumed to be making a real choice here, they’re the only ones who “need” any convincing.
